A Picture.

She stands midst molten waves Of amber light,
And floods of auburn shades, dew-damp and sweet;
And as the day speeds on with noiseless feet,
She is a form celestial TO my sight!
The day is darkening round her; and the night
Brings to her face radiance complete;
And, like starlit sky, around her feet,
Bathing the fowerets the dewdrops glitter bright.
Her eyes are cast into the moonlit sky;
Her lips are trembling with the prayers of love;
Her hands she clasps in silence, and above
Her throbbing breast rresseth them with sigh!
All! could paint her as she Is, the eye
Could neer behold and from that image move!
Will Robert Williams

Becalned.

Would that the winds might only blow
AS they blew in the golden long ago!
Laden with odors of Orient isles
Where ever and ever the sunshine smiles,
And the bright sands blend with the shady trees.
And the lotusbloom in the midst of these.
III.
Warm winds won from the midland Wales
To where the trees of the siren trails,
Ger the fossy tip of the mountain phlox,
And the bare limbs twined in the crested rocks,
High above as the seagull's flap
Their looping wings a. the thunderclap.
All! that the winds might rise and blow
The great surge up from the port below,
Bloating the sad, lank silken sails
Of the Argo out with the swift. sweet gales
That blew from Colchis when Jason had
His loves full will and his heart was glad
When Aiedea's voice was soft and low.
All! that the winds might rise and blowi
