How bright new diamonds gleaml
With Eden's birth these wild waves bel
The light Of sun ard star.
And their weird = by has swept
The aeons long Ear.
And eer since mirroring I'm their sheen
The young days Orient flush.
They've welcomed from her ocean couci
The mornings roseate blush.
The south winds sweep the meadow grass
And daisies wake from sleep.
And bluebells murmur chimes like those
The elm measures keep.
And wandering where the sunbeams lur,
The tessamine springs to life,
And lifts aloft the golden bloom,
With soul OF fragrance ripe.
AS on Alhambra's pennon proud
PomeRranite blossoms glow,
And 'gainst the green Of English box
Their ruby rad ance throw.
Aiame the scarlet peoples CLEAN
Along the rivers brink.
And drapDg root and tree and shrub
The woodbine tendrils link.
Now spinning through the fragrant
The shining hum-bird dips
And from each rosy dew-brimmed cup
Wine rich as Here's sips.
Above them all nights shuttle weavcs
The rfloonlight's tissue pale,
And DER the soft enchanting scene
Fair falls the silyery veil.
/ Mst-a sweet. wild mlnstrelsy
From mocklng-hrd afoat-
And with tin its pathos deep
The whippoorwelfs sad note.
Now Autumn comes In Tyrian robes,
While frost on heather Cleans,
Her banners flushing earth and sky
With gold and crimson beams.
Upon the old Colonial hearth
The rudy embers glow,
And round the sofa quaint and carved
Soft footsteps come and so.
Oh, echoing through these Visions fair
I hear their steps who walked In white.
Holy whisperincs fill the air.
MID shimmering robes of light;
And white-browed loved ones sleeping
there,
From that dear house shall rise
Upon the resurrection morn
For mansions In the skies;
And first amid the loud acclaim
A mothers song shall ring:
The children Thou hast given me
la Christ's dear name I bring.
