ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
MISCELLANEOUS.
THE CHEF D,GUyRE.

Viewing the closely covered wall,
Above, below, and on the line.
let my raptured eyesight fall
Upon landscape half divine.
Green grass, as cool aud fair as June
Had ever In her heart TO show,
A stream that only lacked lite tune
To match gurgling stream know;
And such sky as never comes
Except in June's supremest hour,
saw-~and even the bee that huns
In zigzag paths from flower TO flower.
l kept my seat with heart serene.
Caught by the artists wondrous spell;
When, silently, across the scene
Uprose a second miracle.
Had some fair picture OF the line
Escape the bondage Of its frame
pretty maid, Of form divine,
only know you, blushing, came
Between me and that landscape fair
Which seemed part Of Paradise
You stood saw your ripping hair
The liquid azure Of your eyes;
The blushing tint that warmed your cheek,
Your lips which stirred a nameless thrill
In all my veins; could not speak;
You went-but, or, / see you still,
And nothing else. The landscape fair
Wherein the soul Of June was laid,
Lost all its charm its summer air
At once began 10 shrink and fade.
o what are earth and air and sky,
Life's pomp and Joy, the pictured wall,
When one sweet face in passing BY,
With ecstasy subdues them all
