LONE STREAM.

Sweet streamlet, through the solitary glen F.iiling among the messy, shaded stones. Say, canst thou tell again their solemn talo Who once were 'overs by thy crystal pools?

Kach for the otlie". only thought, and for The aims fiat clung convulsively, the lips That Inssed the trembling kisses of true love, The eyes that spake from th' immortal spirit Vowing undying love, and for the days When cither on the other's heart might loan, Seciue from all the pryings of the world. , But, O the anguiah of their parting! O The long.l ong days and weeks that brought no word ;

Then scanty message from the fa-i away Of Duty's Btern demand and iron War, Mingled with lonely anguish and the prayer Lifted to God fo. on. supremely loved. And then the savage onslaught and th sound Of weeping far by solitary ways, Where stalwart youth would wander never-

more With trustful innocence. The early stars, Sweet streamlet in the solitary glen. Look down t. see her pensively reclined Beside thy stilly pools, and far a\^py The hazy desert hath his sandy mound; But, O, beyond the solitary stars He longeth, waiting for his early love T- meet him n the everlasting hills, And stroll beside the solitary stream. Far in th woods of some secluded glen. — CHARLE3 OSCAP. PALMEE, Kahoulera Hills, March 28
