MIST.
BY Elizabeth D. Hart.

What loaely thing is loa'elier than NliSts
Chill, salt-dyenched mist that springs in a zvltitt
From dark and stormy seas;
Pale blnmes of mist, curling across the trees
At dasVn; mist sqelrlng on a sugrant breeze
Like tattered fragments of chiffon; the proud
High-hanging mist of purple tsviiight-these
And mist of Antnutn-blne a'eils oVer fame.
Spring mist aoith all the Sweetness of name
Once loa'ed and half forgotten; mist that dies
On the moons cleaning breast in little signs;
The mist of tears that stands IN happy eyes
What lo1'cly thing is looelier than mists

We've shown that flame one
