MIRAGE. Clear shining through the swimming air, Across a stretch of summer seas. Far, lofty peaks gleam white and fair The heights of the Hesperides. O far-off peaksl O happy Isles 1 I sail and sail and long for * you, And still th’ enticing vision smi!e3 To lure me o’er tho waters blue. Below those fair and gleaming heights, Ne’er shrouded o’er by drifting snows, Lie gardens filled with rare delights, And there the golden apple grows. I sail and sail and long lor you, But never come to those fair isles; Still stretches wide the bounless bluo, Forever still the scene beguiles. Unclimbed those lofty mountain heights* Far off beyond the smiling seas, Unreached that garden of delights, Untrodden the Hesperides. —Edith Sessions Tapper. PITH AND POINT.
