NATURES THERMOMETERS.

Lo, silver pulse in q crystal vein,
And 1t silently ebbs and flows,
And marks the chill Of the north winds win,
And II times the bloom of the rose.
And IT tells OF snow In the spotted air,
And IL shrinkingly shows the sift
OF frosty stArs where the crimson spars
OF the Arctic admirals lift.
When the silver mounts In the vein of glass,
Then the butterfT's Eing'd brocade
Shakes out of reef like folded leaf,
And the corn ranks of in brigade.
When the silent pulse to the zero sinks,
Then brave as . lord g saloon,
The nail heads shine In the walls of pine,
Like the dew-drops under the moon
And the kitchen ERE is an orihamme,
And the panes of the windows show
The Astral bloom and the diamond plume
And the mimic ay OF the snow.
There fans of pearl thsre ara shells with ring
There sre V1oIets ghostlY white,
And tarns and urns, and the fretted ferns
OF the winter time in the night.
There is naught SO csId In the Arctic zone
AS heart that is +" ten below
At the snowy line of the dEindlinE pine,
On the glacier Geld or the foe
And no bOIeal blast from It's ghsstly gloom
Is as chill as the frosty -SouPd,
With thoughts as clear as the WindeEmere.
And the heart left out in the cold.
Let US pray for hearts With endless June,
Though the winds Of the world are wild,
No zero there, nor a feveFed care,
But the blue-eyed faith Of child.
