RARIiY

In dream :, found a wondrous land
Radiant with roses ON each hand.
No grasses, trees, nor shrubs were there,
But roses bossoming every ywhere.
Great velvet-petaled blooms were these
Red millions tlembled in each breeze.
They swept toward the horizons verge
In many a splendid ample surge;
They spread on all sides one intense
MonOtony OF magnihcence.
Then suddenly, where my pathway ran,
LOOmed the vague presence Ui man.
And in his clasp, with strange delight,
! saw one daisy glimmcIing white,
Such daisies bloom in slender sprays
By tn ougs among June's ineGdoNet ways.
Yet all my soul, at this weird hour,
Leaned cut to that one simple flower,
For chastely, delicately fair,
And, better still, suprcmely rare,
1t wore n pastoral charm 50 sweet,
This lovely lissom Marguerite,
That seeing it was like dear repose
To me, whose whole heart lOathcd rose.
