Seemed a complex Chinese toy
Fashioned for a barefoot boy.

Lit by downward gazing flowers.

Borne to ocean, I float down, around,
Into a sea profound of everlasting sound.

Till the rocks all around
The shrill echoes rebound.

“Awake, O bell! proclaim the hour.'

Honey comes from the idle flowers.

Till we can mellow in sun and showers.

They poured each hardy tenant down.

-SCOTT.

flowers, By the thousands have burst from the forest bowers.

-HEMANS. 29. Cur hearts, our hopes are all with thee:

Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant o'er our fears,
Are all with thee, are all with thee. -LONGFELLOW.
