ON A MAO RILA ND SHORE.
I stood and watched the sunset fading Watched it kiss tho rippling lake With a tenderness of shading That no art can ever make. At its height the golden vision. Shone in all its glory bright, Till, as at a .hinged decision, Faded in the dimming light. Then a softness took posseasion Of the ever-changing sky, Till the tints, in quick succession, I'adted from the Watchful cje. And my heart was filled with pleasure, Thinking of my native land, Blcscd \n a, generous measurv By the groat Almighty hand. — N OH MAN CUNNIHGHA.II, Christchurch, February, 1901.
