From the land of the souh from the region Of flowers,
When the hooking bird sings hro the long dreamy hours
Where the ocean enamoed caresses the strand,
And sumner forever reigns the land
Where the bfee,es arc soft as the breath Of child
And the lingering light Of the suns beams are mild,
As slowly and gently it sinks to the West,
Unwilling to part with the land it has blest.
From shores ever vefdan and scenes ever fair,
There floated away on the soft, rosy air
An angel Of beauty, Of Joy and OF love,
With message that came from the regions above.
With voice that was sweet as bifdnote in ar,
Or the murmufs that fall from an infant at prayer,
She babe the down-hsarted forget every care,
And painted bright smiles on the lips Of despair.
She opened sad eyes that were Blinded with tears,
TIL they gazed far away thro the gathering years.
And knew, that tho bitter and efue the past
There was surcease from painhere heaven at last
To sous that groping in darkness and dread,
She opened forage the thick clouds o'erhead,
And hro them they gazed, while tear dmmed the sight
On heavens bright fields with enraptured delight

Far in the east where the soft sunbeam, finger
With melowing light over affairs divine,
Where gently and lightly times Ger changing finger
Touches each scene, nor defaces line
Or breaks not spell that for ages and ages
Has hallowed the spot to humanitys breast;
Where music had birth, and history's pages
Tell Of deeds that arc dark and Of love that is best
Twas here there arose on her ousetehng pnions
An angel Of light and angel Of love,
And prepared for her fight stres wild dominions,
With smile on her lips as she scared far above.
Clothed with the rainbow, the olives entwining
Her lovc-lghted brow and her soft flowing hair
She passed DER the EARTH cen the bright outshnng,
AS gentle as love and as silent prayer.
And Ger she passed. brother aspsd hands with brother
And ierce-visaged war to his caves skulked away;
And discord and hate knew their wild reign was over
And vanished like shadows at break Of the day.
The light laugh Of maidsns and chadhoods prate,
The troth plight Of lovers the dance and the song
Replaced among the deep elangors Of battle
And Garth smiled with Joy as she floated along.
And tears dried away, and hearts that were breaking
Forgot all their sorrow and leapt as Of yors.
And friends long discovered, their anger forsaking,
Were loving and kind to each other once more.
And DER the wide lands the song Of the reaper
Was heard as he gathered IN plenty at last
And Joy that was stronger and broader and deeper,
Was left on the earth when the angel had passed.
