THE RA1NBow's TREASURES.

The following poem is one of the
hrst ever written by John Boyle
oRellly, and was printed in his frs,
volume, Songs and Legends"
where the foot of the roinbow meets the field
~, And the grass resplendeut grows,
ne earth Will precious treasure YIELD
As the olden story gees.
IN crystal cup are the diamonds piled
- = OF nlm who can swiftly chase
9 Tr torrent and desert and pr ecipice wild
10 the rainbow's wandering base.
There were two in the field at work, one day.
W.. Two brothers who blithely sung,
" n,s across the valleys deep winding wav
Inc glorious arch was flung!
ana one saw naught but q sign of rain
ana feared for his sheaves unbound;
ana M, one is away DER mountain and plain
I'LL the mystical treasure is found.
Through forest and stream, in a blissful dream
Inc rainbow lured him on:
Win WI, q SIRENS guile it lotered awhile
r, men ieaeues away was gone.
through brake and brier he followed fle ct
The people scotfed as he past.
bQt IN thlrst and heat. and with wounded feet
He nears the prize at last.
1t Is closer and closer--he wins the race,
one strain for the goal in sight,
LUZ 81, Ladlance falls on his yearn!ng face
The blended colors unite
he laves his brow in the iris BEAM
He reaches-ah! woe the sound
from 1911 tue misty gulf where he ends his dream
where tue crystal cup is found!
'Tis the old, old story. One man will read
=, HIS lesson OF toll in the sky.
Whlle another is blind to the grosser need,
:, sheer with the splits eye
You may grind their souls in the self same mill
You may bind them heart and brow;
But the poet will follow the rainbow still,
AND his brother will follow The plow
