POETRY.
On a Miniature.
BY HENRY A. BEERS

Thine old-word eyes-esch one violet
Big as the baoy rose that is thy mou n
Set me dreaming. Have our ewes not met
In childhood-in garden OF the South?
Tby Inns are trembling with song of France,
NV cousin, and thine eyes are dimly sweet;
'Wiidered with reading in an old romance
All afternoon upon the garden seat,
The summer wind read with thee, and the bees
That on the sunny pages loved to crawl;
skipping reader was the impatient breeze
And turned the leaves, bnt the slow bees read ALL
And now thy foot descends the terrace stair;
hear the rustic Of thy silk attire;
breathe the musky orders of thy hair
And airs that from thy painted fan respire.
Idly thou pausest in the shady walk.
Thine ear attentive TO the fountains fall;
Thou mark'st the fower-de-luce sway on her stalk
The speckled veIgalieus ripeniDg on the wall.
Thou hast the feature of my mothers race,
The gilded comb she wore, her smile, her eye
The blood that iushes softly in thy face
Crawls through my veins beneath this northern
sky.
AS one disherited though next of kin,
Who fingers at the barre1 ancestral gate,
And sadly sees the happy heir within
Stroll careless through his forfeited estate;
Even so watch thy southern eye, Lisette,
Lady of my lost paradise and heir
OF summer days that were my birthright. Yet
Beauty like thine makes usurpatiOn fair.
