Serenity.
BY ALICE NJ. WELLINGTON.

Her days are as sver-fowing STREAM sad CLEAN;
ReOseh n strnng Currents noiseless as dream
Her heart is like the lilies that b i;S "i"'
Ask Efsu not te Where the eager waters glide.
H. .bo,abts are white winged birds that from be-
M .ha h;sb heavens soar and vanish so,
Aiasi mine cannot follow where they CO.
Her Joys are bright-winged birds that from on high
Come singing down, and tempt the stream to try
And sing with Them they fit singing by.
Her sorrows-she has none her heart will own;
The air is silent when the birds have flown,
But the bright stream then sings the song alone.
