256 INTELLECT. 
WALNUT, BLACK. 
Juglans JVigra. 
Language INTELLECT. 
Clear on the expansion of that snow-white forehead 
Sits intellectual beauty, meekly throned ; 
Yet, O, the expression tells that thou hast sorrowed, 
And in thy yearning, human heart, atoned 
For thy soul's lofty gifts. 
ME8. E. I. Eames. 
REPLY. 
Tell me no more 
Of my soul's lofty gifts ! Are they not vain 
To quench its haunting thirst for happiness ? 
Have I not loved, and striven, and failed to bind 
One true heart unto me, whereon my own 
Might find a resting-place, a home for all 
Its burden of affliction ? I depart 
Unknown, though Fame goes with me ; I must leave 
The earth unknown. 
Mrs. HEM.Ajfs. 
Who born so poor, 
Of intellect so mean, as not to know 
What seemed the best ; and, knowing, not to do ? 
As not to know what God and conscience bade, 
And what they bade not able to obey ?
