Either the State Canvassers have made no declara

THE STORM.


The dark and threat'ning clouds arise,
And deep toned thunder shakes the
ground,
Portentous gloom pervades the sky,
And frightened birds are lowering
round.
The eagle from his rocky home
His eyrie in the cliffs on high;
Is screamigg in the darkened clouds,
That float across the angry sky,
The lightning, with its fiery tongue.
Is flashing brightly through the air
More terrible than beasts of prey,
When frightened in their lair.
For noble monarchs of the woods,
In fragments are laid low
Which spread their arms in beauty q
century ago.
And behold the scudding clouds,
The wind has spread its wings,
And on like lightning coursers
Sweeps Ger created things.
And towns and cities in its path,
Like chaf are swept away.
And ocean waves are lashed in wrath,
And tritons are at play
And Petrals with their stormy wings,
Are on the mountain waves,
That roll in fearful majesty,
Ger many sailors grave;
Who rests far down in coral caves,
Where beauteous sea-nymphs play,
In green and crimson algea groves,
Through all the sunny day.
And now the slanting drops of rain,
Are falling thick and fast.
And binding sheets of mist sweep by,
Borne by the angry blast.
The stream that like silver thread;
Wound down the mountains side,
Is swollen to an awful food,
And foams and leaps in pride;
Far down the mountain frowning steep
And bear and rugged side.
And now the rain has spent its force
Black clouds are in the East;
And streaks of gold and crimson,
Are glowing in the West.
The sun breaks forth in spendor.
Far in the Western sky.
A 10! O. beauteous vision, rain on high,
In green and purple glory.
Now spans the Eastern sky.
