Firc-lTies 'Tis June, anil nil tho lowland swamps Arc rich with tutted rccd and ferns, And filmy with tho vaporous damps That rise when twilights' crimson burns; And as the deepening dusk of night Steal purpling up from valo to height, The wanton fire-flies show their fitful light. Soft gleams on"clover-beams they fling, And glimmer in each shadowy dell, Or downward with a sudden swiug Tall,'as of old a Pleiad fell; And on the fields bright gemB they strew And up and down the meadow go, And through the forest wander to and fro. They store no hive nor earthly cell They sip no honey from the rose; By day unseen, unknown they dwell, Nor aught of their rare gift disclose: Yet. when the night npon the swamps, Call out tho merit und misty damps, They pierce the shadows with their Binning lumps. ^8WH9| ? Now ye,.who in life's garish light, Unseen, unknown, walk to and fro, AVhcn death ?hall bring a dreamless night, . jMny wc not find your lsmps aglow ? God works, wc know not. why or how, And, one day, lights, close hidden now, Mny blaze like gems upon an angel's brow. Historical Harlinges i ? Beauty's wedding was Beastly.
