THE AERoN's NEST.

Down in the sedGe by the river
That flows from the south to the west,
BY the iris blue remnants, a-quiver,
There buIlded heron her neat
With hay from the lowland meadow,
With twig from the forest tree,
With moss from the woodland shadow.
She wrought 1t cunningly
Then. with mother love, she brooded above,
And-hark! to the children three.
With the mists of the dawn upcurling
In vaporous wreaths to the sky,
The heron. her wings unfurling,
Went forth from her childern's cry.
when the lamps" she said. "of Heaven
Shall burn DER the land and the sea,
In the cool OF the dewy even
To my home will hasten me-"
Then. in search of food. went she from her
brood
And-alas! for the children three.
The eve was fled. and the stars had burned
them
Adown to their sockets edge.
The dawn was chill. and the nestlings
turned them
In lone unrest in the sedge.
But home no more came the heron ever,
From o7er the land and the sea:
Through tho even song. and the dawning,
never
In all the years came she;
For tho bullet had spe3. and the heron
dead,
Lay--afar from thu children three.

TENDING THE LIGHT.

With nothing but waves to seward
And the grim rocks toward the land.
The roll OF the black clouds over,
And the breakers on every hand;
The night comes down on the ocean
And we climb the winding stair
To see that our lights ere piercing
The thick ming. foggy air.
Far up at the mouth OF the river
Beyond the narrow beach
The last Of the home lights twinkle
And sink away from our reach.
Alone on rock In the desert
OF tumbltng and tossing tide;
The nations outer signal
To wanderers far and wide.
Alone, and we wonder dimly
II the fogh orn reaches the shore
Or pierces the outer stretches
That tumble and toss evermors.
Perchance in the little village
Some fisherwifs wakes In the night
And peers from her smoky window
To see II we're shining bright;
Or out on the tossing pillows
A helmsman watches our light,
thousand souls In his keeping
A. they rush through the painless night
Alone on rock in the desert
And hungry for those on shore,
The screams OF the gulls and breakers
Around us forevermore.
