BORDER STATE BALLADS.
NOROMBEGA.


1.-THE earliest maps and narratives indicate
city called Norombega on the banks Of the
Penobscot, The pilot, Jean Alphonse, of Kahn
tonge, says that this fabulous city is fifteen or
twenty leagues from the sea, and that its in
habitants are of small stature and dark COM
plexion. As late as 1907 the fable was re.
peated in the Historic Universelle des Indies
Occidentales.-Note in Parkman's pioneers
of France in the New World" The following
beautiful poem may serve as companion
piece to Whittier's ballad of Norembega]
Midsummer's crimson moon
Above the hills like some night-opening rose
Uplifted, pours its beauty down the vale
Where broad Penobscot flows
The night is all in bloom
With subtle sweetness from the skies distilled.
The vesper wind in whispers steals along,
By the soft silence thrilled.
OF old the fairy world
Held royal reveal on midsummer eve;
Once more along the moonbeams may they
come
The twinking dance to weave;
Or by the moonlight spell
Entranced, and listening with attentive ear,
The drowsy whispers of the ripening leaves
And harveSts, may near.
Now on the field of night
No longer blooms one solitary rose!
With countless groups of silver-petalled stars
The infinite garden glows;
And the TRANSPORTED moon,
Grown paler, clearer like lily white,
Immaculate in beauty hangs above
The starry wreath OF night.
A splendid glamor browns
All sound in silence; even the tapping wave
Just trembes to the shore, with Silly touch
The lonely rock to lave.
And remember now,
That this is haunted ground. In ages past
Here stood the stored Norembega's walls
Magnificent and vast.
The streets were ivory-paved,
The stately walls were built of golden ore,
Its domes outshone the sunset, and full boughs
Hesperian fruitage bore.
And up this winding flood
Has wandered many a sea-tossed. daring bark,
While eager eyes have scanned the rugged
shore,
Or pierced the wildwood dark;
But watched in vain: afar
They saw the spires CLEAN golden on the sky.
The distant drumbeat heard, or bugle note,
Wound wildly ftfuly.
DdHueES OF strange uSHlCe
Beckon'd from distant heights; yet, as the
stream
Narrowed an ong the hills, the city fled,
mystery, or dream.
In the deep forest hid,
Like the enchanted princess of romance,
Wooing endless search yet still secure
In her unbroken trance.
o City of the Past
No mirage of the wilderness vert thou!
Though yet unfreed from the mysterious SPELL
deem thee slumbering now.
Perhaps invisible feet.
White sandalled pass amid the moonbeams
pale,
Yon shadow wave may be some lordly barge
Drifting with phantom sail.
The legend was not all
A myth, it was prophecy as well:
In Norombega's cloud-wrapt palaces
The living yet shall dwell.
Fed by it's hundred lakes,
Here shall the river run Ger golden sands;
These hills in FURNISHED tower and temple
shine
Beneath the builders hands!
Where tarries till the hour
When the true knight shall the enchantment
break,
Unvel the peerless city of the east.
The charmed princess wake?
Till then, 0 River, tell
10 hone but dreaming bards the Futures boon;
I'LL then guard thou the mystery of the vale,
Midsummer midnight moon!
and Sonnets.'

E. A. Rogers of Brunswick, reporting
