MOUNTAIN HAZE.
The purple shadow of an angel's wing Is flung across the range, and softly creeps Adown the mountain side ,* the rocky ' steeps Are blurred with veils of amethyst that fling Their filmy folds, 'round barren spots that cling To] jagged -slopes • the yawning canyon keeps : Fond tryst with Dusk, the • windless forest sleeps, iVith naught save one fair, long line ' lingering. So, when the angel-shadow falls on me, And from Life's landscape I am blotted out, Ne'er to return to my accustomed place, In Memory's haze let my shortcomings be Concealed, forgotten, but may no one doubt That I the line of beauty sought to trace. — ' Atlantic Monthly.'
