DREAMS.

Noon sunshine warns the canopy OF leaves,
Whose shadows flicker on the baby's lace
And one who rocks the cradle fondly weaves
A, wreath of fancies full of tender grace.
But who shall guess how fairer, sweeter Tar
Than our maturer thoughts are infant
dreams?
What brightness blesses them of sun and star,
What music thrills of heavenly songs and
streams!
What flowers of wonderland and plumaged
What fair white meadows green and daisy
strOWn!
What loving language spoken without words,
What blisseul prophecies Of life unknoWn:
The wreath of fancy melts, the mothers eyes
Dwell on that face, and picture Paradise.
How pure spirit holds this little room!
A maiden bower wherein no stranger looks,
The breath of innocence its rare perfume,
Its richest trappings, girlish toys and books
The reader sleeps-upon her lineless brow
shadow fingers, left by study there,
But freer thoughts arise in dreaming now,
And wander outward, onward-whe.e, ah.
where?
Back to the late-left beauty of the bowers
OF childish playtime? Onward to the day
When womanhood with larger plans and
powers
Shall take the Schoolgirls place? All, who
shall say?
God, make Thou happy, keep Thou pure and
good ;,
The mystic dreams of artiess maidcnhood!
But there are dreams wherein deep woe takes
part,
Dread dreams that fright us for some dear
ones sake,
Visions of peril, falling on the heart
With horror, whence we trembling awake.
The wife is fearful for the husbands life,
She sees the storm the wild waves angry
CLEAN,
She Sees him stand amid the tempcst's strife
He falls-he snks-ah, Heaven! it was
dream!
The mothers heart is broken in her sleep,
fancied peril doth her child befall;
In dreams she kisses weary eyes that weep,
In dreams she answers to an angulshed call
They are not few, the terrors ana the smart
That fill the dreams Of anxious, loving hearts
And there are dreams wherein our loved ant
lost
Come back unto their olden place again;
Drealns sent 1rom God to soOthe the sorrow

And riven heart, so weary of it's pain
