THE RAINBOW.
~ MRS. AMELIA 3. wELsY.

! sometimes have thoughts in my Ioneliest hours.
That lie on my heart like he dew the flowers
or a rambie l took one bright afternoon
When nv heart was as light as blossom 10 June;
The green earth was most with the late-iaen
showers,
flowers,
While single white cloud, 10 its heaven of rest
On the white wing of peace, Aoated oFin the west.
As threw back my tresses to catch the cool breeze
That scattered the drops and dimpFd the seas,
Far up the blue sky a fair rainbow unfolled
Its soft tinted pinions Of purple and gold.
Twas born in a moment, yet quick as its birth.
It was stretched 20 tae uttermost end Of the earth,
And, fair as an angel, it 1oated as free,
With wing on the earth and wing on the sea.
How calm was the ocean! how gentle its swell!
Like a woman soft bosom it rose and 1t fel;
While it's light sparkling waves, stealing laugh
ingly o'er,
When they saw the fair rainbow kneit down on
the shore.
No sweet hymn aseended, no murmur of prayer,
Yet felt tha the spirit of worship was there'
And bent my young head, in devotion and love,
Meath the form Of the angel that ftoated aor'e'
How wide was the sweep of its beautiful wings:
How boundless is circle! how radiant its rings.
If looked on the sky, twas suspended IN air;
II looked on the ocean, th6 falhoow was theie'
Then forming girdle. as brilliant AND whole
As the sheughts of the rainbow, that c'rcled my
soul.
Like the wings of the Deity, calmly unsurled,
II bent from the cloud and encircled the word.
There are moments fthink when the spirit receives
Whole volumes of thought on its unwritten leaves;
When the folds Of the heart in a moment unciose,
Like the rnermost leaves of the heart OF the rose.
And thus, when the rainbow had passed from the
sky,
The thoughts it swoke were too deep to pass by;
1t left my inll soul, Ike the wing oil dove,
All Autterng with pleasure, and tiutter'ns wah
love.
know that each moment Of rapture or pain
But saorlens the links in life's mystical chain;
know that my form, like that bow from the wave,
Must pass from the earth and lie cold in the grave,
Yet oh! when deaths shadows my bosom eneIoud,
When | shrink at the thought o: the coffin and
shroud,
Nav hope, like the rainbow, my spirit enfofd
In her beautiful pinians Of purple and gold
