And each now sunrise woke tho strain again.
MemnoIs there are many living, breathing men,
| Whose marble pulses mover yet have stirred,
| Though truths celestial trembcd in n word,
| Like star-beams shining IN drop Of ram.
Whose thoughts distilling from a frosty brain,
Have turned TO hail sweet heaven and earth between
| And rusting June and winter painted green
In Thoughts bright spectrum shines a warming ray,
| That makes summer, where it shows day,
A love all living and immortal youth
Must be his gifts who woos and WINS the truth.
The mountaIneer may scale the frozen height,
But stands dsasfered mid the hollow night
Who humble gazers IN the furrowet vale.
See heaven at nnchor-heaven almost IN hail;
SO lowly look out in the realms OF thought,
Tho earliest glimpse the stranger craft have caught,
Been first to see the hlmy flags unlurled
Far in the otiing Of tho students world

To be some other head some other heart.
Has now become tho crownnS work of art.
But noble spirits ever will despise
To steal an honor in a borrowed guise.
That glorious Self, the heritage Of heaven.
How can we 1.-Two, and hope to be forgiven;
That self coeval with the infants breath,
That sclf, triumphant dust and death,
That self shall see tho Springs sun disrobe
And shadows mantle wrap the morning globe;
That self shall clasp some golden torch that burns
Perhaps forgotten. round the throne OF God
And calmly wait while Time refs his u-rs.
And io immortal parts the conscious cloi.
oh wondrons power that parts the rusget rind
And cIeaves the puiselcss broast of Ethiop clay
That hngs its gifts to winter and to wind.

Then stands the blade triumphant over all.
great green bIllow rolling up 10 heaven;
Amid its shades Eolian voices call,
Along its crest, angel pinons driven,
The gold and crimson mornings come and go.
And night lies sleeping in the depths below
That power is I.ife-heir-loOm of all that lives
That God 10 mosses and to mOnarchs gives
The gems OF harvest, and the gems Of thought.
Thus bud and blossom. ripen and are wrought
