Once more he put his hands suddenly before his face as though to shut out something from his vision.
AN URBAN HARBINGER
By E. S. Martin
With an Illustration [Frontispiece] by W. Glackens
In the sweet country, as the spring's
Advance decks out the scenery,
And limns with hues the colored things
And gives the greens their greenery,
I love to watch when I am there
Each little step of Nature's care;
The wiles with which she goes about
To coax the shivering crocus out,
