SEED-T3M1 km HARVEST. 
Transplanted. 
BY LUCY DEWEY CLAY. 
A baby is sleeping in soft cradle bed, 
And sweet smiles are wreathing its lips rosy red, 
For a band of bright angels are hovering near 
And heavenly music falls soft on the ear. 
Unseen by the mother who watches above 
The couch of her darling in tenderest love, 
They vie with each other in whispers so low, 
The loveliest gifts on the babe to bestow. 
Beautiful, innocent, pure as the dew 
In the chalice of lily, no gift rare or new' 
Can add to her charms, for her soft cheek has 
drawn 
A freshness as pure as the twilight of dawn. 
And the golden hair gleaming in ripples of light 
Caressingly kisses the brow pearly white, 
And silken fringed rose leaves be-curtain the eyes, 
That have stolen their blue from the star-sprinkled 
skies. 
As they gaze on her beauty, enraptured, a trace, 
A shadow of sadness on each angel face 
Creeps slowly. They whisper “too lovely for earth, 
This little immortal of sad, mortal birth. 
Must the pure soul that dwelleth this bright form 
within, 
Be burdened with sorrow' and tainted with sin. 
Must anguish and pain rob the radiant face 
Of its sweetness, the form of its beauty and grace?” 
Then one of the seraphs sighs softly and low: 
“Temptation and sorrow she never shall know. 
I will woo her and w r in her, and evermore free, 
And sinless and holy her pure soul shall be.” 
Then gently the angel bends o’er the frail form, 
And breathes on the red lips so rosy and warm, 
And touches with fingers so icy and chill, 
Brow' and cheek, and they pale and the heart-beats 
are still. 
But the smile that is left on the lips, tells the bliss 
Of the spirit thus wooed by the death-angel’s kiss. 
Then gently they bear her, the heavenly band, 
Where the asphodels bloom by the emerald strand. 
Of the river of life, and with harp and with song, 
The glad seraphs welcome the radiant throng; 
And evermore dwells in the Eden above, 
The little earth-angel, transplanted by love.
