In the forests OF the night;
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burned the fire of thine eyes?
on what wings dare he aspire?
With what hand dare seize the fire?
What the hammer-wh the chain
In what furnace forged they brain?
What the anvily What dread grasp
Dare its deadly tcrrors clasp.
when the stars threw down their spears
And watcred Heaven with their tears,

Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

A ROSE OF JERICHO.

"Why do you take luy garden rose,
still fresh and glowing, from the vase,
And give day and withercd stalk
My tavorite's dewy place"
Lady" he saul there came IA day
When far across the burning plain
slow crept, rs hour by hour went by,
\ winding camel train.
"And none in all that wandering band
Who sought with me the Oricpi'> shrine
Concealed beneath the pilgrims garh
So sad a heart a. mine.
"But while with mourntul thoughts unused,
Light blown, as if from fairy bower,
Came tiuttering DER the yellow sand
To me, this magic flower.
81 knew it, folded petals hid
The breath ana bloom of other days.
And that some happier hour might give
Its beauty to my gaze.
Through all the paths OF Palestine,
And wide across the stormy sea,
My cherished rose OF Jericho
/ brought to home and thee.
"And now the secret of my soul
to the wizard rose have told,
And if tomorruw's light shall see
It>aiusty scroll nrolled,
"lf litc and bloom and odor come
Again as from grave set free,
The rose OF Jericho will tell
That secret wish tn thee"
The morning beams; the lady steps
ENpcctant to her garden bower,
Behold, the withered stem upholds
4 rare, mysterious flower
\ subtle odor steals abroad;
The petals CLEAN with golden hue
II is as If the wanderers heart
Had opened tn her view.
A step draws near; there is no need
For words to tell what roses know;
To utter loves own speech has lowered
The rose of Jericho.
