4GG A CITY LYRIC. 
The birdie ceased its happy soug, 
I heard its notes no more; 
The water rippled silently 
To the blue lake’s quiet shore: 
But a mother sang her cradle hymn: 
“ All hallowed be your rest, 
And Angels watch the shining heads 
That leaned on Jesus’ breast I”

j^JID the crowds I needs must linger, 
Aye. and labor day by day,— 
But I send my thoughts to wander, 
And my fancies far away. 
In the flesh I’m cloud encompassed, 
Through the gloom my path doth lie; 
In the spirit, by cool water, 
Under sunny skies am I. 
Do not pity me, my brother,— 
I can see your fountains play; 
I can see your streams meander, 
Flashing in the golden ray.
