The my steries Of Creation. Titanlke,
He erssps the mountsinf scans the darkng mine,
Follows the planets through the trackless ar,
And measures with infnity bis thought;
While on bis brow, immutable, there sits
B.pignant beauty Never faileth Love-
Tboue Pestience, and Perjury, and Scorn,
And all the myriad ills of life, sssalli
She h is her lamp with purer stronger beams
Above the gathering gloom and goetn on,
Smiling at her own tenderness ana power
Beautiful alike when sbrned at home,
And ia the fireside's luster counting Ger
The lows and cares OF many tranquil year,
Or when she dweleth meath the roof Of kings,
And in the dimming atmosphere OF courts,
Weaveth her garlands 10 their naive bloom.
There sweepeth by a silent, shadowy tram
IL is the march of hours. The phantom hand
of sorrow waveth TO ward their sepulcher;
Young HOPE lists to their football with a smile;
While low with siren voice woald bid them stay;
In vain ror pause, nor haste, their pathway knows
BileAt and stern aud strong, they keep their course
Yet robed in sunshine, bhrouded deep in gloom,
Bill do they pass n beatty. Go aud view
d, The heavy centuries since Earth was young,
Behold ike waves the nations rise and fall,
60 to the cities on the DESERT lap,
In desolaiions long and dreamess sleep;
Scan well the Past and Of the Future dream,
Read as thou caDst the mysteries OF Time,
And write subilnest beauty on the hours.
Ay, Strength aud Beauty crystal pillars are
Unfolding fair Creation. Chaos dim
Smiled when she saw them rising from her realm,
So glorious they from Architect divine.
Ay, Strength aud Beauty, Gtly do ye blend,
As do the rugged oak and graceful vine,
As does the rainbow o er the storm cloud bent;
And thought on swift winged errand steaeth back
Beneath the ivied portals OF the Past,
Unto your bridal. Lo, Olympus dawns
Lo, Vulcan and his peerless, sea. born bride
