The Coral Grove.
BY JAMES O. rErcivAL.

Bf JAMES u TETt1Nhb.
Deep In the wave is coral grove,
Where tho purple millet and gold fish rove,
Where the sea-fower spreads its leaves Of blhe,
That never are wet with fallen dew,
But in bright and changeful beauty shine
Far down in the green and CLASSY brine.
The floor is Of sand like the mountain drift,
And the pearl shells spange the flnty snow
From coral rocks the sea- plant lift
Their boughs where the tide and billows flow.
The water is calm and still below;
For the wind and the waves are absent there,
And the sands are bright as the stars that glow
In the moiionlcss field of upper air;
There, with its waving blade of green,
The flag streams through the silent water,
And the crimson leaf of the pulse is seen
To blush like a banner bathed in slaughter,
There with light and easy motion.
The fan coral sweeps through the clear, deep sea
And the yellow and scarlet tufts of the ocean,
Are bending like corn on the upland lea;
And life, in rare and beautiful forms,
Is sporting amid those bowers Of stone,
And is safe when the wrathful Spirit of storms
Has made the top of the waves his own.
