Beautiful Streams.
BY j. E. CARPENTER.

Beautiful streams, that flow onward for ever,
Blessing the green earth wherever they flow,
Down the steep mountain-side gushing to
sever - p
In the fair valleys and meadows below;
Singing amid the tall reeds as they wander,
Nursing the lily-bell on their calm breast
Well by their side may earth's weary ones
onder,
Seeking, alone, by their margin for rest
Beautiful streams, that flow ON TO the ocean,
Lfesgiying founts as they wander along,
Who can behold them devoid of emotion,
Or love not the sound of their murmuring
songi
Cooling the earth in the warm sunny hours,
Giving the poet his glorious themes,
Clowning the wales with the rich summer fow-
Types of eternity beautiful streams!

To catch the showers that lightly pass
Breathing from petals scared and dead,
