POETRY.
[From the London Magazine. ]
THE RAINBOW

rom the London Magazine.
THE RAINBOW.
The evening was glorious, and the light
through the trees
Played in sunshine, the rain drops, the birds
and the breeze,
The landscape outstretching, in loneliness
lay,
On the lap of the year in the beauty of May
For the bright queen offspring, as she passed
down the vale,
Left her robe on the tree, and her breath on
the gale;
And the smile of her promise gave Joy to the
hours,
And fresh in her footsteps sprang heritage
and flowers.
The skies like a banner in sunset unroled,
Der the west threw their splcndor of azure
and gold.
But one cloud at a distance, rose, dense, and
increased,
Till its margin Of black touch'd the zenith
and east.
We gazsd on eldbhtNsasf f srs"es while around rs
When vision of beauty appeared on the
cloud;
Twas not like the sun, as at midday we
view,
Nor the moon, that rolls lightly through star
light and blue.
Like spirit it came in the van of storm
And the eye and the heart hailed its beaut-
full form;
For 1t looked not severe, like an angel of
wrath,
But its garments of brightness ilumed its
dark path
In the hour of its grandeur sublimey ii stood,
Der the river, the village, the field AMI the
wood;
And river, field, village and woodland grew
bright,
AS unconscious they gave and afforded de-
light.
Twas the bow of Omnpotence, but in his
hand,
Whose grasp at creation the universe span
ned;
Twas the presence of God IN symbol sub
lime,
His vow from the flood to the exile of time;
Not dreaded, as when in whirlwind he
pleads,
When storms are his chariot and lightning
his steeds;
The black clouds of vengeance his banner
unfurl'd,
And thunders his voice to guilt-stricken
world;
In the breath of his presence when thousands
expire,
And seas boil with fury, and rocks burn
with fire,
And the sword, and the plague-spot with
death strew the plfin,
And vultures and wolves are the graves of
the slain.
Not such was that Rainbow-that beautiful
Whose arch was refracton, its KEYSTONE
the sun;
A pavilion it seemed, with deity graced
And justice and mercy met there and en-
braccd.
Awhile, and it sweety bent over the gloom,
Like love DER a death-couch, or hope DER
the tomb;
Then left the dark scene, whence it slowly
retired.
AS love had just vanished or hope had ex-
pired.
Igazed not alone on that source of my song !,
10 all who beheld it, these verses belong:
Its presence to all was the path of the Lord :;
Each full heart expanded, grew warm, and
adored.
Like visit-the converse of friends-or
day,
That bow from my sight passed forever
away;
Like that visit, that converse, that day to my
heart,
That bow from remembrance can never de-
part.
Ills apicture in memory, distinctly defined,
With the strong and imperishing colors of
mind;
A part of my being, beyond my control,
Beheld on that cloud and transcribed on my
soul.
