And the iceberg fides DER the cleaning tides

Pale gems embossed with silvery frost
Are the spray Of the glittering brine,
And the jewelled strand by that fairy land
Yields part OF its wealth to thine
The gift bring on nv broad white wing.
And II falls In a feathery snow,
When dense clouds lie In the leaden sky,
And the turf Is brown below.
When stripped aud bound on the bare hills round
Inc snlvering trees complain,
And the slumbering stream In a meaning dream
SUI gnaws at his Icy chain.s
Wan Autumn grieves DER the golden leaves
Inc hoard OF life OF cares
o1', 0ckeo rom sight In a casket white,
VIII keep them for his heirs.
Though the merry Spring Is a spendthrift thing
In the Hush Of her youthful hours,
AND the gathered gold will be pledged and sold
by her, for wreath Of flowers
But the precious trust Of the boarded dust
shall be safe beneath my wing;
From the eagles nest on the mountains crest
VIII watch for the fair young thing;
TIL, bursting amain from his silver chain,
The brook leaps high to the shore,
And The trees rejoice at the welcome voice
VI their feathered friends once more;
Till the violet waves DER the sodded graves,
Where the mourner knelt in PRAYER,
And hope springs up like the crocus cup,
FROM the wreck OF an old despsir.
