The Ocklawaha.
River, winding from the west,
Winding to the River May,
Often hath the Indian pressed
Through your black-gums and your MOSES,
Where the alligator crosses
Still some lily -paven bay,
Basking there in lazy rest
Still the spider-lily loops
sprawling flowers, peels of pearl,
Where the green magnolia stoops
Buds to y%ellow-lily ~bonnets;
Where, the morning dew upon its
Golden funnels curl on curl
The festooning jasmine droops.
Who may paint the beauty Of
Orchids blooming late in june.
Bristling on the boughs above!
Cypress-trees where many a flower
Ions lianas' tendrils shower
On the deer that come at noon
Muzzles in cool depths to shove.
Lilied inlets where the teal
Dabble mid the wa~ter-grasses,
That some treasure seem TO seal
With white blooms that star the river:
Bays the swift kingfishers shiver
Into circles as each passes
Ger their mirrors that reveal.
Bends, rejecting root and moss,
Where the tall palmettoes throng,
Over live-oaks tower and toss
Panther necks whose heads are heavy:
Hamaks where the perfumes levy
Tribute from the birds in song,
From the mocking-birds that cross.
Logs the turtles haunt: and deeps
OF lagoons the searching crane
Wades; and where the heron sleeps;
Where the screaming hmpkins listen,
And the leaping mullet glisten;
Bream and bass dart by again,
And the dark didapper sweeps.
Coacoochee, Coacoochee,
Still the huge magnolias bloom
And the tangled Cherokee.
Where the blazing-star spreads splendor
Through the forest. and the tender
Discs of the hibiscus loom,
Trailing over bush and tree.
Osceola, Osceola,
Phantoms of your vanished race
From the starlight seem TO draw
Stern invasion. Messy regions
Swarm the seminole's lost legions,
Threatening war-paint on each face
Dead, long dead for Florida.

Birds Song and Sunshine.
To a Friend.
A kind friend, speaking. said to me:
go catch the wild birds melody,
And paint the sunshine on thy page;
Let happier homes thy song engage"
looked about; the world seemed sweet;
Shy blossoms crept to kiss my feet,
Or cast their drifts of tinted snow
Upon the tender grass below;
The sunshine all about US made
A Pickering of light and shade;
Aspiring birds call, so brave and clear,
Fell, as we spoke. upon my ear.
But something in my heart did say
"We tarry only for a day.
We meet and greet and speak us fair
Then go away we know not where"
Say. is the wild birds thrilling note
Upon the soft spring breeze afioat
With all its yearning ecstacy
A thing TO fall TO earth and diei
Say, is the sunshine's soft carese,
So like a loved ones tenderness
Remembered sunshine of lost years
Dead gold behind a mist Of tears,
A thing to darkle in the ground
While ages wheel their ceaseless rOundl
Somewhat within my heart replies
To wild sweet creatures melodies,
Somewhat within this life Of mine
Thrills TO the haunting spring sunshine
Is 1t a thing 20 fade away
Beneath a covering of clayl
All! no! in some far otherwhere
We meet and greet and speak us fair,
And there-oh hope OF the Divine,
Waits birds sweet song and lost sunshine!

Certain Old Friends.

Certain Old Friends.
II certain old friends that / know,
II certain old cronies of mine.
Could come and sit round in q row,
AS they did in the days Of lang syne,-
Could only come back for an hour
And lounge in the twilight with me,
My heart would unfold like a flower
When wooed by the banquetihg bee.
How sweeter than all Is the sweet
Recollection of those that we knew,
When the grasses lay green at our feet
And the skies of life's summer were blue
When the hand of q friend was a hand
Whose touch was as tender and true
As the lip of the tide TO the sand,
Or the kiss of the dawn to the dew.
They have wandered away from my sight,
And my name they no longer recall,
They are gone like a dream of the night,
And forgetfulness hangs over all;
Yet out OF the gulf of the years
The ghosts Of their memories rise,
And under a rainbow of tears
see the glad light in their eyes.
If certain old friends I have known
Could only be near when I die,
My spirit would feel less alone
As 1t entered the Valley, hard by
Could I have but one wish as / wind
Out Of sight. whore the pathway descends,
It would be a last look on the kind
Loving faces of certain old friends.
