A AURORA.


Nights dusky kingdom now is DER, and
10.
She folds her sable mantle gemmed with
stars,
And with step majestic, silent, slow,
Departs,as Day the gates OF morn, unbars
Sweet-eyed Aurora, blushing in the East,
Kisses the dream-bound earth's gloom
crowned brow;
And Nature from its mistress dark re-
leased,
WEEDS Day, that plights the morn her
marriage vow.
Behold the Sur, In floods Of splendent light
Robe with his golden glory all the hlllsl
Gliding with beauty every craggy height,
Whose majesty the heart with wonder
thrills.
A vast concourse of birds their voices
raise,
an notes Of mystic melody and praise.
