ASTRONOMY.

Did you ever study Venus by the glory
of the moon,'
While the silver-iaden voices of the
night were all in tune?
Did you ever seek Orion and the Little
Dipper, too,
In the brown eyes of a woman you
have striven long to WOO?
Have you sought to read her answer in
the glimmer of the stars?
Have you stared your eyes TO aching
at the Pleiades and Mars?
Have you found the meadows studded
with forget-me-nots of love
AS you gaze into the grandeur of the
armament above?
Have you striven, man, to girdle "ail
the earth within your arm
AS you note the consultations dart
and simmer with alarm?
Have you seen the misty yistas of af-
fright within her die
As you win her faintest answer to be
yours for aye and aye?
Have you felt the rocking motion of
the universe that dips
As you press her closer, closer, sip
ping honey from her lips?
If you have, o happy lover, you have
seen the system right
For the way to heaven opened TO as
tronomy that night.
