THANKFUL REST.
A Tale.
By ANNIE S. SWAN.
Author of "Aldersyde," "Carlowrie" "Shadowed" &c. &c.

Without an end at last,
And every rock upon the way

There are few human hearts too hard
For gentleness to win;
Somewhere a hidden chink appears
Where love may enter in.

1889

stood udder-deep in cowslips and clover.
