Verse for To-day
I, ioa/nt no crystal streets, no city of gold, No walls of jasper, sapphire, chrysolite, No jewelled and lustered towers — no endless light, But the soft twilight of this earth that’s old, Dawnings, and sunsets when the gates unfold And day goes out to leave consoling night: Far fields of daisies; roses, lily white; ! The brambled lanes, the rain-kissed fragrant mould. . ' From “ Earth-Bound," by Arthur L. Salmon, 1870-. [G. T. Foulis & Co.].
