Poetry.
THE ENGLISH GIRL. In the new opera by Gilbert-and Sullivan -—“Utopia” (Limited) —occurs this pretty song about the English girl;— Her soul is sweet as the ocean air, ' ITor prudery knows no haven there ; To.find inock-modesty please apply To the conscious blush and downcast eye. Eich in the the things contentment brings, In every pure enjoyment wealthy, Blithe as a beautiful bird she sings, Eor body and mind archaic and healthy ; Her eyes they thrill with a right goodwill— Her heart is light as a floating feather — As pure and bright as the mountain rill That leaps and laughs in the Highland heather.
