THE COCOA PALM.
Anna M. Paris.

Oh cocoa palm, I pray thee, tell
Why is it that I love so well
That shaft of thine, that feathery crown
On which the neighboring stars look
With greetings bright9 Stately that
stem
Bearing aloft it's diadem
Springing exultant from the earth
Unmindful of its lowly birth!
Though other trees may spread their
shade
In sylvan pride. on hill and glade,
Yet more, 0 palm beside the sea
Love I thy lofty symmetry.
/ greet thee palm, thou art to me
The symbol of a soul set free
From servile custom-one who moves
Unfettered by earth S narrow grooves
I greet thee-love thee as a smile
Of God. on some far distant isle!
Oh cocoa palmi A dover is thine
Of breezes fresb--of ocean wine
OF rock bound coast-of tides that swell
Through caverns deep, where mermaids
dwell.
'Tis thine to list the Interludes
That fill the spacious Solitudes
Of Natures temple' There the sea
Pours out its heart, Q palm, to thee
In the lone night watch ere the Sun,
Thy flaming lover, has begun
His matin wooing-all its pain,
It's mighty love, in proud refrain
To thee it tells-To thee alone
The rapturous sea its joy makes known!
To thee, 0 palm, akin am I!
The ocean breeze--the cloud-the sky
The rock-the starry space affair."
The lonely shore-my kindred are!
BY these companioned would I stay
To greet with joy the coming day
Near thee. silent comrade, friend.
God grant for me life dream shall
endl
Where ocean fond familiar note
May Ger my quiekened senses float
And Zephyrs, blending with the sea
Shall be both Choir and Liturgy.

That echoes through tn = eternal calm
That tidal song-open for me

Still the man was lost in thought and

horse lightly over the flank and said.
