THE GREENEST BOUGH,

Out of the dark, and coming in glory. Into the brilliance of the dazzling lantern:

Alike a saviour-born in oblivion, but soon unshadowed; Alike the evening guard celestial-

Evolving from a gloom into a prominence, and so remaining, unchanging, lest the world should grope like a sightless man in a snowstorm;"

A sign of hope, an emblem of, goodwill, so long desired; Forever standing-

The Bough With The Greenness Perpetual!

O crowning arrow that shocteth from out of the arms of the

firm old warrior!

Oh, a son or a daughter-to carry down his line, ancient yet

Northern yet southern, eastern.yet western: Weaver of interest and magnet of attraction,

Into which creeps fancy, frivolous yet profound, and shakes its

members, Until it teams--a torch of passion, sublime yet simple, master-

ing hearts and kindling souls to fire;

An object of anxiety commanding veneration; Subject to the years, but forever starding— The Bough With The Greenness Perpetuall

Ally of Fate, controlling, destinies;

"A barrier to our hearts' desires, safely protecting realisation

from the trailing claws of visions;"

Gainly, but unsteady in thy measured movements; Vanishing like a dream, but reoccurring;

Near bred so our friendly fce of the daytime but not native, Through which runs the pulsation of a heart that is alway

young, and the senses of a system that can never-must never-fail,

Like one dwelling in those soary mansions-forever standing: The Bough With The Greerness Perpetual!

O dreaded to which there can never be comparison, Your lasting favour awes and blinds me, but let not a rescuer

dare venture to allay me!

Though you can never be understood, being in your entirety different, yet tell me of one who can resist such invitation! Only can thou be a goddess immortal-abounding with grace and rapturously beautiful, perfect in form and ravishingly,

A work of art, forever starding-

And the world awakes to be enslaved by this new ordained

creature.

But courage to defile her issueth from no soul; so it is un-

Therefore remaineth she still- Forever standing-

The Bough With The Greenness Perpetual!

But lo! Out of the mists discerneth she one facing her defiant,

advancing! Still advancing!

And alas! she succumbs. Her chastity is past, but virginity still

embowers her.
