ON A PICTURE.

When summer Ger her native hills
A veil OF beauty spread,
She sat and watched her gentle flocks
And twined her f1axen thread.
The mountain daisies kissed her feet;
The moss sprung greenest there;
The breath OF summer famed her
cheek
And tossed her wavy hair.
The heather and the yellow gorse
Bloomed over hill and void,
And clothed them in royal robe
Of purple and of gold
There rose the skylark's gushing song,
There hummed the labOring bee;
And merrily the mountain stream
Ran singing to the sea.
But while she missed from those sweet
sounds
The voice she sighed to hear.
The song of bee and bird and stream
Was discord to her ear.
Nor could the bright green world
around
a joy to her impart,
For still she missed the eyes that
made
The summer of her heart.
