There were youths of lofty stature, With angelic port and brow, Looking less on sainted maidens Than on the Saviour, now.

And behold ! the ruthless Archer Bent four times his fatal bow, And with each unblenching arrow, Was a " shining mark

Rest from rosy rhyme, With the ringing sweet Of her silver chime ! Holy smile of God, Spread thy glory mild Underneath the sod On this little child ! WREATH AND HARP. I OPED the welcome missive, And there fell upon the ground A Wreath without a fragrance And a Harp without a sound.
