Original Poetry.
SONNET. ON A WALK TO THE JUNCTION. A lovely morn ! amt I have climbed this hill, Diving the city-bustling, striving, dense—io find refreshment in a calm intense, And kindle joys that smoulder in me still. O’er the hush’d fields I wander as I will. Yielding to sweetest impulses of sense ; .i^vi ßlln ’ u * r * le name l®ss influence Of hills, the stir of insects, and the thrill Of nature and her voices. Who cm hear This flood of song and say our birds are mute ; jfihe wavelike music surging in the ep,r • At intervals the tui’s tuueful flute * In liquid notes, melodious, deep and clear. Oh ! in such scenes a lively faith takes root! E. S. Hay. Dunedin, October 24.
