MY CHllDHOOD'S ENChANT.
RESS.

When purple dust fell on the scA
And the white moon looked in at me,
Where. waae!ul and alone, lay.
Watching unshxpen shadows play
In budding groups beneath the caves
And fears, that childish fancy weaves.
or airy nothing banished sleep
A step upon the stairway steep
Made gladness blossom out OF fear
The step o! my enchantress deari
She came and sat upon my bod:
An aureolc-riny was round her head,
Of golden light-her own bright hair,
Falling in wavy crnkles fair
Upon her shouldep-Whtle she told
Tale after tale, that seemed TO fold
Hy life in wonder-robes complete,
Wrapped in romance from head TO feet
She wayed her wand; rare folk she knew
One after one came gliding through
The raftered attic's vista dim
What pencil could their portraits linn.
Their motley grouping:-Kuights in mail
And rescued ladies. hly-pale.
Fairy and giant dwarf and sprite.
Walked 10 procession down the night.
Little BoPecp: Red Riding Hood:
The Babes that wandered In the woods;
Bold Humpty Dumpty. hobbling after
Hope my Thumb, with elm laughter;
And Mother Hubbard-dog and dame
With slippered Cinderella came;
Jack trailcd along his beanstalk vine:
Aladdin and his lamp were mine;
Briar- Rose. half walked. smiled on her Prinee-
How tame are story people since!
The patchwork quilt that covered mo
Was like the enchanted tapestry
OF Eastern tales: for in my dreams
walked by unknown shores and streams,
Where trees could talk, and magic lights
Dropped sp;cpdor from the Arabian Nights
She made the far-on seem so near!
My golden-haired enchantrcss dear!
And more she stirred my Hedging wingA
And led my hight TO !ostier things
Than fairy-fancies ever shaped:
From earth together VIC escaped.
And caught the glance, and hoard the song
or seraph and archangel strong.
And knew there was no near nor far
The world we lived on was Star!
Her elf-land mists melt not away:
Their lambert tints around me play,
Now I am old. Her clear blue eve.
That seemed an opening to tho sky
The Heaven that makes OF earth place
Worth living in, unfolding space
or sprit-realms-it haunts me still,
Weakening the old ecstat;c thrill.
She gave me what no Queen could give;
Keys to the secret: How to Live.
Fancy is good: but faith 10 better;
am to my enchantress debtor.
Whose doors swung wide to both. And She
How did she fnd the way to me!
God sent her hithcr, long before
came: He taught sweet mother-loro
To sister-lips Oh, dear and fair,
Ny sister with the shining hair!
