IN BEAUTY's WAY.


4 followed after beauty, and in her
ways
Ny soul took hold of treasures
bright and fair;
In place of sad and melancholy days,
Came radiant visions, pleasures new
and rare.
The earth and sky seemed flooded
with celestial rays,
And joy drove out remembrance of
unwelcome care.
Touched by enchantment's wand, life
then did seem
Filled with the glories of some SPLEEN
did dream.
Too fair to last, you say, those splen-
doris soon must fade;
] thought so once, twas when they
first began to die,
But, To- / found I had not been be-
trayed;
Up to serener heights my eyes had
learned to fly,
From human to divine quick the as
cent they made
And caught the rainbow colors
round about His throne on high.
It Is Gods plan, that looking thus on
beauty's face
Our souls should learn to catch the
vision of his wondrous grace.
