charms which Nature has so wisely lavished upon the untarnished
works of his adorable hand. They came to the conclusion that Contentment
and Modesty were two beautiful flowers that flourished only in secret
and retired places, where the God of Nature reigned.

"Dora again, in her wild forest home,
Where, in wavy masses fondly flowing
Droops the graceful mountain vine,
And the yellow sunbeams, glowing
Cross the shadows line on line;
Where the zephyrs, softly sighing,
Woo the gently pearling rills;
Where the feathered songsters, vieing,
Each a different measure trills;
Where the echoes, now replying,
Die amid the distant hills;
Where the skies are ever changing;
Where the slanting moonbeams quiver
On the noisy mountain streams:
Where the placid flowing river
Like a thread of silver gleams.
Oh, my heart is ever yearning
For the sweet, remembered ones,
Where magic roses blossom
In the evening golden light,
And tender, enchanting songs
Float on the balmy breeze at night."

THE END.
