A GILT-EDGED POEM
Ely WALTER woLcoTT,

Ely WALTER WOLCOTT.
WhCne'er l seek the ambient ar,
To Let my spirit loose and free.
4 sermon meets me everywhere,
And silent truths are taught 10 me.
The rocks are grim old monitors,
All manlled DER with moses gray;
But ever blade of grass that grows,
Though green. has something sweet 10 say.
The flowers hold their heads on high,
Their fancy feasts the fieetinS hours;
While every breeze that passes by
Whispers Slyly To the flowers.
The twinlzling stars, with lustre sweet
Are gilt-edged poems, pure and BRIGHT
That point the home we hope 10 greet,
When gushing love has LOST lis llShl'
The fish that frolic in ihe deep
VIII ffrt and flash their silver scales,
And warn us when they wish or weep
By wiggle waggling their tails.
Thus. nature keeps an open page;
And those who run should read it Der.
II they would glide on golden skates
Beyond the evergreen shore.
