A burter Jest tie poibiHgs Of diseonne,
Were things 10 plly ~itb in bis happiness,
As they were golden toys. So, when they reacneo
Tie palace gate, and Bertha ha' gone ~
Takfnx the sunshine with Der, Edwin hnug
The ieins imp Il NJ on III urser neck
Broke through the crowd o. lo"rlsg tIsred round,
Aud sought The loneliness Of wood ana neld
To Listen 10 the nig ingale thai sang
Within his heart Of Love and loves delight; -
And on Il sang till, thrgGgo enkindled air,
TIE heron hIppe toward biz forest home
With gullet full Of f b. Returuing then a-
Slow paced Md miser of biz OSn delight, .
Wlalv lovely shapes of Summer twilight stole
From tree-root md irou hollow, aud joined hands
In silence ON Tho plain he reached at last
The paltce, ster than its wont.
The following is in different vein;
At the first wind of dawn tie thousands woke
Aud rolled into their plare-, rauk on rank,
Expectant, ready, shadows g large grovesi .
But when the sun atoee, aud was affair
MiirDred IN dewy lsaIs, a wipdow oped,
At which King Redwald aud h,s daughter stood
With eyes Uf sad fsreWen A bugle's cry
Went tngling tie rO.is Of every heart;
And, are il died, from out the Palsce gate
TIE Princess Issued gainst the level rays
That burned ON breast and helm, and at the night
The htet rocked like forest ID stOrn,
The banners shook, with clash and Try they cheered
Tue lords OF Banl.. Tteu, as tho army moved
Coward, like thunder's corrugated gloom
Rolling Ger desert I'll =, with nre ie.erved E.
For oieer lauds, Tie wi,tiGl hearts and eyes .
OF thote within the silent Psl4ce lett
HING 81 is dusty rear. 81 cars cea-ed 10 fash
And hens 10 sound. At hight of noon IL hang
Cloud Ike upon Il ridge; aud MS a loud,

Crumbsss iutO u vivid duht Of ram
Leaving the rock-hne clear against the sky,

Broke through the clouds at setting, on mould,
Lifted IN sseiug Of the swayiDg fight,
Stood Etheibert, surrounded ny lis lords,
Known by HE white sized and lis gis'en,
Ana by lis golden arnor blurred with blood.
