urlitt thy gen-tiara'd head,
And in thy vestal robes afrayed
Bid Twilight'S gloom give way.
Wake dearest sister. the dark.hfow'd night
Delayed too long her drowsy flight,
Most glorious art thou Sister day
On thy golden chariot throne,
While sitting supreme in regal sway
Thou hotdest thy high e~ilalgent way

Till in thy tloud-pavilton'd home
In the burning west thy footsteps come.
When last Thy parting looks | caught.
Which turn'd 10 smile "goed.night,"
With all a levers fondnesS iraught,
There seem'd not in the universe aught
SO precious in thy sight
As thy own dear Earth, while to her breast
She folded her slumbering babes TO rest.
oh , many n Joyous mountain rill,
And many a rushing stream,
Calm lake and CLASSY fountain still,
Tall grove and silent miSt-wreathcd hill
Long for thy coming beam.
uprouSe thee then, faireSt sister dear,
For NIL are pining thy voice to hear.
With trembling and impatient wing
My birds on every spray
Await thy welcome forth to sing
Till brake and deli responsive ring
With many a melting lay.
Then wherefore, beautiful, llnger SO long
Earth signs TO greet thee with shout and song
Thy flowers her vigil long hath kept,
With loves untiring care,
Tho rodhd her pinks and vilets slept
she wakefuily hath watth'd and wept
Unto the dewy air;
And like a d~esolate bride she waits
For the opening other lovers gates.
Thear the glad revolving spheres
Rehearsc their choral hymn,
Which vet ere earth was stand with tears
Burst on the joy-entranced ears
s,Of holy Seraphim /;
While the lofty blue empyrean rang
As the morning stars together sang.
Oh then arise, fair Sister dear,
Awake, beloved Day,
For many a silent dewy tear
Falls on my breast like diamond clear
In grief for thy delay,
Prom the rosy bowers Of the orient skies
Then .up sweet Sister, arise. arise.
ALLAN GRANT.
