a gem offered gifts like these:

All were but drUss, that even fame
Was but oblivion postponed.

"Ah, hHpp iuess! | have 1t not,

Each worshiper of Mammou runs,
For deep within him shall remain
Star drifts of fairer worlds and suns.
And should he stoop with eyesght dim
To pick the shining druss of earth
He shall hear voices calling him
Like voices of celestial birth.
Not earthly gifts which men most prize
Shall ever by his toll be gained,
For lac shall follow with strange eyes
a phantom always unattained.
mo pleasure shall he have in these,
Nor human love that lives and dies,
For still beyond each face he sees
Still fairer faces shall arise.
"And while the busy, maddng crowd
But view earth's present passing show
He shall see far beyond each cloud
The blooming flowers of Eden blow.
And he shall hear, as from strange spheres
Songs sweeter than are ever known
Grander than heard by human ears,
Save in the dreamer's soul alone"
For this the gift that at his birth
The Reni gave for woe or veal,
That ever while he lived on earth
To him the ideal should be real.

In the dead hours of the night there comes
A precious hush not of the tomb, nor yet
OF life-a mystic spell, when dews are wet;
When, though the voice OF nature softly huns,
lis as lullaby, and the mad drums
That tear and crush the peace of day, nor yet
The freedom of the mind have scope, are set
Aside with riot that all thought benumbs.
Into this atmosphere of sacred charm,
Secure from violence or other harm,
Dance out the fairies of the poets dream
With nimble feet and pinions all ageam-
changing tableau till the wand of day
Bids silence and her phantom brood away.
