NEW ZEALAND VERSE.
EARTH'S SMALLEST THINGS. Earth's smallest things are made As perfect and complete As the heaven reaching hills; The path beneath my feet Is etrewn with diamond dust Almost too small to see, Yet the shapen crystals fling Their rays of light to mc, "With a spark or ruby red, A_spark of sapphire blue; And a broken rainbow lies In sun-caught globes of dew. The little dusty moth That flickers on the sward Has plumey feathered wings Like an angel of the Lord; Has crests that -would bedeck The proudest fairy knight And a thousand ornaments Too delicate for sight. The silk frhat wraps the seed, The flower dust flung free; Earth's tiny, lovely things Made for what eyes to see? 1 —>ALICE A. X-NNX. I Pa«ro_.
