I have s<>en a fleecy cloud-veil thrown across a sky of blue, Half concealing, half revealing all its wondroua glorious hue ; I have seen, a radiant rainbow, — emblem of eternal peace, Dip into the surging ocean till the strife was fain to 00&39; And N"atnn>'3 Ovourito child, tho sun, sink gloriously t« rest With kis "coat o» many colours" wrapped around his glowing breast. Or I've watched the 'luring moonbeams fling their shimmering shafts of light, Like a silver ladder leading up to regions pure and bright. Lightning flash and roar of thunder, all have come within my ken, For the changeful skies above us have as many ; moods as men. From the blush of early morning till the hu3h of midnight^ calm, With the sullen' gloom of tempest, or the twilight's soothing balm; Through an endless maze of beauty is my tranced spirit led; But though I should write forever, something still would be unsaid. —LILIAN. Narrandora, July, 1899.
