Trailing Arbutus.

Annie Fellows Johnston

THERE may be hearts that lie so deep ‘ Neath griefs and cares that weigh like drifted snow, That love seems chilled in endless sleep, And budding hopes may never dare to grow.

Yet under all, some memory Trails its arbutus flowers of tender thought,— All buried in the snow maybe, Still with the sweetest fragrance fraught.
