A SKETCH. No. 9.
THE scene was chang ed
a lily sprung upon the desert rock,
a blossom dourished upon the blasted tree -
Bis natal star once more in golden light
Pursued its march and beaconed him to iov.
One lonely, isvely being praised his worth,
And won his spirits from its solitude.
Earth wore the hue Of heaven How beautiful.
How fair she was! even a. the dark eyed dsugh.
tiers $3.50
OF Allahs visionary paradise.
Upon the cheek SO pure and delieate, -
The lily struggled with the crimson rose:
And all the magic, all the witohery
That ever lover dreamed or poet sung
Slowed IN the Tightening other dark blue eye,
Oh she was beautiful her raven hair
Hung in profusiou round her neck of snow.
And on in maiden giee in sportiveness
Her gentle hand would catch the scattered curls
And bind them in braid around her brow.
On she was beautiful her graceful form
Moved upon enfth SO light and free
She seemea q seraph wanderer from the sky.
Too bright, too pure, too glorious for earth
He ioved-nay more--he madly idolized,
And kneeiiug in devotion at her shrine, fyep
Breathed into her prayers that were due to Hea.
His spirit sprung to hers--all other thoughts
All other feelings vanished from his mind,
Asd enc intense, devoted, deathless srdor,
One passion joyous even to agony,
Glowed in his throbbing heart and this was love-
Yes, it was love let the cold hearted smile,
And let the senseless, the unfeeling fool
Whose dull lethargic spirit never soar'd
Beyond its vile and pershable CLAW,
Who steals through life, undressing and unbles Il,
Let him deIide those throbs he cannot feel
But angels bless, and heaven inspires such love
Oh the hearts deep and fond idolatry,
Source Of delight and Of sweetest woe. Tsbrine
There hangs a morning wreath on beauty.s
when life is in its springs, and time as vet
Nor blights the bud nor steals the fowerets bue
Look once again the mildew of decay
And sorrows canker have been working there
