POETRY.

THE MOSS ROSE.
[From the German of Knuat max LIE R.l
Erewhile, in Orient's sunny clime
When earth-born things were yet in prime,
Nor guilt the golden bands had riven
That linked in peace the earth to heaven,—
The Angel-Sprite, whose bounded powers
Are given to tend the tribes of Flowers,—
Each leaf at eve with balm bedewing,
At morn each faded charm renewing,—
One noon, on Spring's tirst petals laid,
Had touched him in a Rose-tree's shade.
Refreshed anon he raised his head.
And smiling to the Rose-tree said :
" My loveliest child, my darling Rose !
Accept the thanks thy father owes ;
Thanks for thy fragrance freely shed
From ruby cup around my head,—
Thanks for thy cool reviving shade,
While slumbering in thy shelter laid !
O ask l—whate'er the boon—'tis thine;
The joy to grant the boon be mine."—
" Then o'er my form new beauties shed"—
At once the Rose tree's spirit said.
And lo! ere scarce the words have birth,
Froth fragrant wreaths slow-struggling forth,
The loveliest Flower with Moss is braided—
The humblest weed her branches shaded
Vet, Lima! hadst thou marked, when there
The lowly weed enrobed the Fair,
What nameless charms—what graces new
Its chastened lustre round her threw,—
While, all around, the Flowers were area
Do homage to the Rose's Queen :
0 ! thou'dst have doff'd that robe of pride,
Those sparkling gems have cast aside,
And simply decked' as Nature bade,
Scorned Fashion's—worse than useless—aid !
