In easy curves, through channels deep,
Where shadows nodded, all asleep,
And sing ing. singing, soft aud low,

Or plash the MOSES fT;nglng down
Between the rootlets, darkly brown.
In long drawn swells of drowsy glce
The lOcusts' drone came IN to me,
And Just above the waters flow
Black, long-legged flies SKINNED TO and fro,
while meath the ferns close to the brink,
a frog peered out with solemn blink.
A stump. outpushng made pool
Where waters deepened dark and cool,

His fins. with Idle dap and dip,
Moved with each forward, backward dip,

DEATH Is DEAD

I saw in dreams a mighty multitude
Gathered, they seemed, from North. south, East
and West,
And in their looks such horror was oppressed
As must forever words of mine c!ude.
As If transtiXed bv grief some silent stood
While others wildly smOic uuOu the breast.
And cried out fcdrluily, " 40 rest, 30 rest.'
Some lied, as fby shapes unseen pursued.
Some aughedinsanely. Others, sirieking SAID,
For then God had not thuud red. Death is dead :"
They ga.hed themselves till All with blood were red,
Cued-
But Death is dead" was all the voice replied.
