THE BLACK BIRD.
W. w. Story.


Upon the cherry bough the blackbird sings
His careless, happy song.
As mid the rubbed fruit he lifting swings,
Needless of Right or Wrong.
No Future taunts him with Its fears or hopes,
No cares his Present fret;
The Past for him no dismal vista opes
Vi useless, dark regret.
All how | envy him. as there he sings
His glad unthinking strain,
Untroubled by the sad inlaginings
That haunt mans plotting brain.
All orchards are mis- home, no work nor care
COmpels him here TO stay;
His Is the world-the breathing, open air
The glorious summer day.
Below, Earth blossoms for hun, and above,
Heaven smiles 10 boundess blue;
Joy Il IN all things and the song of Love
Thrills his whole being through.
From bough to bough its gay and transient guest
Is free to come and 90
Whcreer the within invites, whereer the best
VI Juicy blackhearts grow
His, are these sunny sides, that through and
through
He stabs with his black bill; ...
And his the happiness man never knew,
That comes without our will.
All we who boast we are the crown of things,
By doubts, and dreams, and dark self-questionings,
We stand besieged and sad.
What know we of tnAt rare felicity
The unconscious blackbird knows,
That no misglving spoils; that frank snd free
From merely living grows?
Haggard repentance ever dogs our path;
The foul iend Discomfort
Harries the spirit, and the Toys il hath
Are but moment lent.
The riddle OF our Life we cannot guess
From toll TO toll we haste,
And in our sweetest Joy some bitterness
OF secret pain We taste.
All! for an nour at least, when bold and free
In beings pure de light,
LOOsed from the cares that clog humanity,
The soul nigh, wing its fght.
Then, blackbrd we might sing the perfect song
OF Life and Love with thee,
Where no regret nor toll, nor fear OF Wrong,
Nor doubt of Right should he.
