THE JELLYFISH. 



J. C. EDWARDS. 



Slow drifting, drifting, drifting with the 



tide, 

 With endless, aimless wand'rings through 



the sea, 

 Its pliant body, fringed with softest lace, 

 As delicate as ever yet was wrought 

 By skillful hand for rare and dainty work, 

 Yields gently to each light, caressing touch 

 Of moving wave which helps it on its way, 

 And aids it in its lifelong wanderings. 

 Its mind, a tiny gleam of instinct blind, 

 Has knowledge of no science, art, or love ; 



And yet it serves its every hourly need, 

 And makes of it a sentient being whole, - 

 That lives and moves and dies and serves 



its day 

 In God's stupendous plan of earthly life. 

 It is a branch that in the ages past 

 Was parted from the primal, living trunk, 

 And still exists, a thing to help to prove 

 That this mysterious, wondrous world of 



ours 

 Is ruled by w r isest law and not by chance.
