Scant bloom along my pathway lies,
Long, barren spaces stretch away,
And dull clouds, rolling cold and gray,
Obscure the beauty of the skies.
Yet, sometimes. in some lonely place.
In nook or covert naively set,
spy wan. sweet violet,
Or trembling wind-flower wistful face.
And sometimes sudden sunburst breaks
Across the barren felds-and 10!
When the sparse grasses bend and blow
My soul for very rapture shakes
AT twilight when the way is dim,
And misty meadows swim afar
Beneath the pallid evening star
That hangs above the worlds dark rim,
Faint lights. and sounds, and perfumes steal
On eenses all alert to see
What beauty God hath shown to me
That He doth not to all reveal.
I mourn not, then. that He did send
My feet Ger desert paths of life,
While others walk where bloom is rife
And whispering branches softly bend.
Ills pest beloved lie dOth doWer
With sense divine to see and feel
The beauty that He doth reveal
In every waysde weed or flower
So, wear the rose all We who may,
Shaking its petals at your feet
And treading out their perfume sweet;
choose my solitary way,
Where, sometimes, in some lonely place,
In nook or covert, naively set,
l spy wan, sweet rivulet
Or trembling wind-fowers wistful face!
