MUNION. HENRV EDWARD WARNER. SAY! have you seen the bright eyes in the dew, The blushing wild rose in the lap of the twilight,The smile of the trees, and the heavenly blueOf violets nodding and nodding to you ? O, say! have you sat where the gray rocks adorn The breast of the mountain, Gods treasure-house guarding,And heard the soul-song of the day newly bornAnd nurtured in love, in the arms of the morn? IllO, sayl have you walked where the forest sprite springs And strews smiling flowers to w^elcome your coming.Or harked to <he flutter of myriad wingsWhere each feathered creature its rhapsodies sings? O, say! has your soul left its narrow confines And bounded away to the bidding of Nature,Or fragrance inhaled from the life-giving pines,Or balsamed its grief neath the berry-hung vines? VGo, then, where bright flowrs gem the emerald sod.And give, for a moment, thyself to contentment.And there, where mayhap no profane foot hath trod.Thy soul, in sweet peace, may commune with its God.
