As an American citizen who

The Maiden's Dream.

WARREN W. LAsfPORT.
She sits by the open fireplace.
With far-away look in her eyes.
As if in the bright burning embers
Were the portals of paradise.
OF what are you dreaming. my maiden!
0 tell me your thoughts pray:
That you sit in the glow Of the freight
Yet seem to be far. far away.
Are you building some stately palace?
Some beautiful castle in air?
Than all Of earth's royal mansions
More wonderful. grand and fair.
And is there some favored princeling
Who dwells in your palace grand?
Does he kneel at your feet suitor.
While you promise to give him YOU
hand?
Are there sounds of voluptuous music
That float thro' your marble halls?
Is it feastins and drinking and dancing
That low on your hearing falls?
Or is there instead some bright vision
OF service there pictured to you.
A life nobly given to others,
Unsel6sh. devoted and true?
Perhaps thro' some plague stricken city
An angel of mercy you tread.
Or over some great field of battle
Bestrewed with the dying and dead.
All. the thoughts Of girl are winged
cOursers
That bear her away and away;
Her visions are wonderful visions
When Fancy's awake and at play.
But Fancy is vain and delusive,
Her visions are not whnt they seem;
And soon will the little maid waken
To find it was only dream.
Yes. only dream little maiden;
Yet. If aught Of it ever come true.
May it be the unselhsh service
The future sfall bring to you.
