The golden Lilly held its urn To catch the sunshine—silver light
Pilled up her fairer sister ' s bloom ; But both , when sunset fades to night , Will drop to pieces—like the cup
Of Fairies when their spell breaks up . The Honeysuckle raised in air
Its thousand little rosy horns , That the kind Sun with honey fills This fragrant June's exulting morns .
There from his nest the Throstle sees The banquet of a thousand Bees .

" Creation ' s over—man , you know , "Was God ' s last work—each wind that blows
Howls the old tunes—Ah ! see I pluck The million millionth Rose . " Bah ! you but skim the sea of
_truth—^ Nothing is old to the fresh brain . In every blushing dawn I see Creation ' s morning o'er again .
Hope blooms anew in every leaf That ruffles out upon yon beech ;
The birds sing of Eternal Love , And struggle for the gift of speech . See this broad Sycamore ; each leaf
Framed on the pattern of last spring , The old jags cut in the same way As when Ahab was King .
And mark these white stars in the grass , Rose-tipped as in the Tartar fields ,
The day that , crowning Tamerlane , His horsemen clashed their shields . * Our Arts may die—but Nature works
On old and very settled rules , And needs no Fashion ' s pattern-book ,
N _* o second course of model schools .
