While thy calm, angelic features In serenest beauty sleep, Thy high thoughts, in vivid flashes, On our startled vision leap— Tis as if the keen, red lightning Should burst wildly from the fold Os a soft, white cloud of mourning Tinged with violet, blue and gold. There’s t tall plant of the tropics, That, amid its bristling spears, Puts forth one all beauteous blossom With each score of passing years; And our human race, dear minstrel, Is a plant of kindred power— Once in each score years it blossoms, And thou alt its glorious flower. “ WEIGHED IN THE BAvß||||f BY OLGA. flSgfgOTg (('otichided.l^HlHHHH And thin A • . the eiidfIHHHHH dream.
