The KljMQFIgHER. 
They rowed athwart the glittering stream— 
Two happy lovers—heart and eye 
Each fixed on each as in a dream : 
When, sudden viewed, a jewelled beam 
Of em’rald light shot by. 
liy yellow lilies floating down, 
Affection’s ties he longed to test, 
Love hov’ring with h>s amaranth crown 
Was scared ; a radiant bird had flown 
From callow young and nest. 
They landed ; deep in forest ways 
His fate he dared and won her hand ; 
Returning from their flow’r-strewn maze 
They see the bird, one gorgeous blaze 
Upon their shallop stand. 
It ne’er, intent on fishing, turns, 
And he—“ Love’s symbol this ! 
Love for divine perfection yearns, 
Love greatly dares and hopes, then learns 
Earth’s common tasks make bliss ! ”
