How rich the land ! Whate ' er of genius earth giveth Worthy to live here ever liveth ; Poet and artist , every mind Whose gift it is this spot to find , Brings goodly treasures in his hand ; How rich the land I
Over the sea ! With the blazing star of truth to guide us , And the never-failing light beside us ! Virtue and science shall display Their hidden stores to bless our way Through life to immortality , Over the sea ! B . B .
A Poetical Answer Is Requested To The Following Enigma.
A POETICAL ANSWER IS REQUESTED TO THE FOLLOWING ENIGMA .
In looked my first , with sudden burst , v Intruder on the sacred fane , Where knelt alone on marble stone , The Father Abbot full of pain ; <( Alas ! what need to tell the bead ? " He cried , then muttered prayers again .
But other thought was gently brought , When fell my first upon a maid , In fever tossed , with fingers crossed , While on the counterpane were laid , In more repose , a summer rose , With pure pale lily of the glade .
And naught but joy to homeless boy And orphan girl , that laid them down On door-step cold , 'neath mansion old , And dank damp arches of the town , Where angels keep the souls that sleep , As though they wore a golden crown .
And joy to those who when I rose Upon the troubled roaring sea , Dragged up the net that they had set To catch whatever there might be : A thing so fair , not strange there are Mortals , my first , that worship thee
My second found the mead around , The valley and the prairie wide , Well prized by those who climb the snows , That hang upon the mountain side ; While round Peru for ever grew My whole , that may with you abide .
