NATURE. THE MASTERPIECE.

!, An-hail to the bard. who as king must stand
monarch by title true!
From the suns of space TO the grains OF sand.
All things are songs in this masters hand;
And the strain is nobler than books have told,
Than choirs have breathed, or organs rolled,
Or can float from mellowest chains OF gold
For Natures o singer, too.
-Four themes he hath through the changing
year,
And one is the chant OF Spring
7Tis filled with life. It's filed with cheer,
7T1s heard in bfrd-notes blithe and clear;
II .AwakeI awakeI be ye glad to-day,
For I'll clothe with green your barren way,
And I'll deck your hills with blossoms gay,
And JOY to the world I'll bring
Again his lines have a softer swell,
And rhythm more full and sweet;
IT'S of cleaning Summer the measures tell,
AS ringing they go over hill and dell:
1--WE Brought you grain; let its glory be
An emblem of tenderest love for thee;
Let your lines be rich as the fields you see
Stretched laughing around your feet
And next there sweepeth a harvest hymn
Ger Autumn's golden smiles;
TITS heard in the swaying of fruit limb;
p sTis echoed by swallows that dart and skim:
bring home the sheaves that the land hath
borne;
Heap high the yellowing spikes of corn:
Let the woods resound to the hunters horn;
= Wreathe every home with smiles"
At last he sings of the storm kings might,
And the metre is staid and slow.
The widespread page is OF dazzling white,
And this chorus read in It's dazzling light:
BE pure, be pure as the fakes that fall
Ger the resting world like an angel pail
And hide with their beautiful foldings all
The evil that lies below
Thus ever repeating but never the same,
p Come the songs in endless rhyme:
Now joy, now fear, now praise, now blame,
Now seed, now harvest, the words proclaim.
Sad fate has the soul that ne'er read
The trace of the master on sky mead,
Whose ear can notthe grand symphonies heed
That are breathed by the bard sublime.
-Char!es AOreax Harger, In JOurndlist.
