In the field OF the planets beams thine image,
Adelaide
Eyenisg zephy rs in tender foliage whisper,
silv'ry may bells in fragrant yerdure murmur,
Waves are rushing and nightngales warbe,

Once, o wonder! Upon thy grave shall blossom
dear flower from the sshes OF my heart
Clearly cutters, clearly glitlers on ev'ry purple
Lealet, Gu ey'ry pupil leatiet,
Adelaide

listened with newly awakened ideas OF the
divine art to the study of which she has so
effectively applied herself. The uspro
fessional vocalist has seldom given such a
rendition OF this matchless song, and Miss
Kesn should be proud of the triumph she
undoubtedly achieved.
