AN AUGUST DAY IN MAINE,

FDr The Chfca1o TribMne.
Without frown the Day burst forth. and smiled
With radAnce On the emerald iltcrvnlc.
And crnggy sides OF cireumfn fncpnt hflls,
Whose tufted slopes cnjcwelcd by the dew
Scnt Up pristnAtic offerings to the Sun,
Grent author Of the,r sparkling loveliness:
4 morn prophetic OF perfect dny,
Save thnt the Greater Dog bcstrcde tho heavens,
And u'cr tho councils Ut the weather-wisc
As youth is ever wont, ignored the words
Of warning from old age, and r0atned abroad.
With baskets i'll their hands. climbing the sides

The sphcry fruit thick clustering on the bush.

In which no thought OF sadness might intrudc.
AND wheeled in downward circuit to the West.
Before uIl Na.ur,. see1led to gasp. and heayc
Abysmal s'lspirations Ger the land.
And o er her features cast an ebon veil,
As mourning for tho brightness soon to die.
Old White-Cap hid his stony face in mist,
As though unwilling TO behold tho war
so soon tO rage from peAk to farther peak.
Not long the uncarlng elements delay
The celebration Of their ancient rites.
The pulssng current Of electric tIrt
Now vibratcs fnll-likc In the swarthy mir;
Then. with prcpotcnt spnsm and sulen crash,
lAsunder bursts Its .viewless bonds on high
and STAMPS its siuil un the armament.
Swift from bald Xircon flies the iurit bolt,
while G!ass-F Face echoes back tho a,ss.nc roar,
And AndrOscOYEin's waters seem TO shrink
lieneath tile lAshings of the thunder whip.
Anon from distant Washington darts forth
y Jagged spear HthWart his brother peuks,
While northward rolls the surly resonance,
And bellows to the shores Of umba2og.
