TONIGT'S RECITAL
Sure the west wind o're the waves
llu ?!? less sweet despotic sway
Thau you o're the ivory keys?
AJeie Verne! When you play
Time himself might must to hear
L r.e mi. he lend an anxious ear.
Very thunderbolts of sound
I Crash at vour impetuous will
Liquid pianissimo,
Limpid as a mountain rill.
Softer than the south wind's breath,
i Sweet as love and strong as death.
? Lice* quoted by a writer in the Brandon, Mud. Sun, after hearing Miss Allele
Verne plar.
