The Outdoor Girl

Bainty as a sunbeam, roya] as a rose, How the Out-door Maiden in her beauty glows I Eyes llke morning dewdrops; oheefes like eveninsr fire; Volee like liquid raptare of the sunshine choir. Round of Hmb. and supple- strength allied with graee: Sparkle of health's rubies in her winsome face. How she seems to quecn over all the land With the witehing magie of her slender band! Juno in her chariot drawn by peacocks gay; Aphrodite rising elondlike from the spray- Goddesses outri valled! New the poets kneel To the eharm of Beauty pedalling a wheel. Womanhood- beauty at its height- Hail theOnt-door Maiden, vison of delight! Spin and flash and glitter, steed of burnished thews ; Thus through womaii'3 life-blood God the race renews!
