THE COLUMBtNE.


Where frowns the dark rock s,eepest
Along the mountain side,
Where yawns the chasm deepest,
To meet the rushing tide,
Where not a green thing groweth
Or flower dares to shine,
In fearless beauty blowe,h ...
The graceful Columbine.
No gay companions seeking
or varied smell or hue,
Nor soil with richness reeking,
II seems TO .hun our view,
As tremblingly it bende,h
Upon its slender stem,
With modesty which lende,h
Charms to that mountain gem.
While steadily it clingeth
Fast TO the rugged stone,
And welcome sweetness bringeth
Where it must bloom alone;
As charity upholdeth
The friendless and DISTRESSED,
And with true kindness foldeth
The lonely TO her breast.
There many truth in flowers
That spangle DER the mead,
Good precepts glow o'er bowers
IL man would only read;
And whosoever seeketh,
Will need no magic art,
Their simple beauty speaketh
The language of the heart.
