POETRY
AN EVENING MUSING. The witching scents of thorn and or chardblooms Come blended on the soft cool airs that pass; Around my ears the fitful beetle booms, And faintly lias the shadow on the grass. The tree, tauufigured by the parting rays, Throws out the colours of the radiant bow; And o'er the heath-clad hills a glowing blase Dolh added glory to the heights bestow. Lo I in the west the golden-coloured isles Of ieeoy cloudlets seem to lie and dream; The guar looks with pleasure o'er the
miles I So tiring in the early fervent beam. The night-moths wander from the snowwhite sprays With aimless course; and joyous fly and flit Along the borders of the garden ways Through odours thick where crocuslamps are lit. Sweet bcents, sweet sights of pensive eventide, We hail your reign, an earnest, of that Shore , Where Love shall welcome those with sorrow tried, And where the mourner Bhall not sorrow more. —WILLIAH J GaLLAOHEB,
