The Sire Dress.
The Cloud.

As fresh showers for the ihrslng Movers
from the seas and the streams,
A ll9hl shade for the leaves when laid
Ia their noOn-day dreams,
Fro INV wings are shaken the dews that waken
The sweet birds every one,
VIII u rocked TO rest on their mothers breast,
As she dances about the sun.
| wi ~ he Hail OF the lashing hail,
Ald whiten the green p ans under;
And then again dissolve II In rain
And laugh as pass In thunder.
!sif The snow on the mountains below,
And their great pines grOan aghast;
AMI AL the night, tbs my pillow white,
While seepin the arms OF the blast.
Sabine ON the towers OF my skiey bowers
Lightning, my pilot sits,
in a cavern yonder, IL feltered the thunder
It Struggles and howls at Hts
over earth aud oceau, with gentle motion,
rhls plloi Is guiding me,
lurtd by the love OF the gen that move
IN the depths of the purple sea;
over Inc rills, and the crags, and the hills,
over the lakes and the plains,
Wherever he dream, under mountain or stream
The spirit he loves remains;
Aud all the while bask In heavens blue smile,
whist he Is dlssOlvlng Ia rains.
The sangune sunrise, with It's meteor eyes,
And his burning plumcs 0utspread,
Leaps on the back OF my sailing rack,
when the morning star shines dead.
a., on the jag OF mountain crag
Which an earthquake rocks and swings,
An eagle, ALT, one moment may sit
In the light OF Its golden wings;
Ana when sunset may breathe, from the Ill sea he
meath,
lis ardOrs OF resi aud love.
And the crimson pail ni eve may fail
From the depth of Heaven above,
with wings folded rest on mine airy nest,
AZ stu as brooding dove.
Tina o,bec maiden with white ARE laden,
Ahun MORALS call the moon,
Ghdes gllmmerinR DER my fleece like floor
~ lhr midnight breCLes strewn
And, Wherever tue beat OF her unseen feet,
winch only the angels hear,
No have broken the wool Of my tents thin roof,
Tue stars peep behind her and peer;
AMI laugh TO see them whirl and lice,
Lac swarm of golden bees,
WHrn WIDEN the rent IN my wlde-but tent.
TIL tue calm river. iaEcs and seas,
Like steps OF The SKY fallen through me on high,
Ave each paved VITA the moon and these.
| bi ~ the sun's throne with burning zone
And the moons with girde OF pearl
The volcanoes are dm,and the stars reel aud swim
Wh"u thc whrlwinds nv hammer unfurl,
FfJu cape to cape, with a brilge-likc shape,
over torrent sea,
sun llni proof, hang lie a roof,
Inc IN Iuntins It's columns be.
The 'riumlhal arch, through which march,
WITH hurricane, fire aud snow,
WheI tue powers of the air are chained 10 ny
chair,
the mlliun-co,ored bow:
The irlc-1rc above, lis soft colors woye,
Vale the mos curth was laughing below.
l am hc daughter OF the earth and water,
And the nursing of the SKY;
| pa through the pores OF the ocean and shores (;

FJ' after The rain, when with never stair,
TIE pavilion of heaven u bare,
And The winds aud sunhealls, with their convex
CLEANS,
Build up the blue dome OF air
sil MY laugh at my own cenotaph,
And out of the caverns Of rain,
Like child from the womb, Ike ghost from the
tlmh,
Use aud upLuill it again.
