NOVEMBER.

By Marianne Farningham

BY MARIANNE FARNINGHAM.
Winds sighing drearily, Rain beating eerily, Fog in the city, And mist on the sea; Skies frowning scornfully, Flowers dying mournfully, These of November Attendants must be.
Fires that burn merrily, Lips that smile cheerily, Homes that are happy, Love-lighted and fair, Childhood's gay revelry, Youth's singing gleefully, Even November With these is not bare.
Dark places brightened, And griefs that are lightened, Wants that are satisfied, Help for the sad, Love made perpetual, Pity all merciful— Dullest November By these is made glad.
Hearts that in loneliness Long for more holiness, Loyalty, hope, And a trust that makes calm, Faith in God's Fatherhood, Love for the brotherhood— These change November To music and psalm. —Christian World.
