TIE OLD CANOE

Where the rookie are gray and the
shore is steep,
And the waters below look dark and
"a deep,
!. Where the rugged pine, in its lonely
~ pride,
Leans gloomiy over the murky tide,
Whore the reeds and rushes are long
aud rank,
And the weeds grow thick on the
winding bank;
Where the shadow is sheavy tho whole
day through
Lies at its mooring the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped
Like n sea.bird's wings that the storm
has Topped,
And crossed on the railing one DER
one,
Like the folded hands when the work
VA II done;
While busily bnck and forth between
The syidrr wcavcs his silvcry screen;
And the solemn owl, with hi. dull too
hoo
Settles down on the side of the old
canoe.
The stern half sunk in the sli,ny wave
Rots slowly away an it, living grave.
And the green moss creeps DER It's dull
decay,
Gliding the nuldering dust away,
Like the hand that plants DER the
tomb flower,
Or the ivy that mautles the fallen
tower,
While many blossom OF livliest hue
Springs mp from the stcrn Of the old
canoe.
The currentless waters are dead and
still,
hut the light winds play with the
boat at will,
And lazily in and ont again
II floats the length of its rusty chain,
Like the weary march of the hands Of
.ne
That meet and part in the noontide
chime;
And the shore il kissed at each turn
anew
BY the dripping bow OF the old canoe.
Gen. alert PIKE.
