"O dear, bright stars, fly down, fly down, And make our baby such a crown As men shall joy to see! And who shall rock his cradle bed? First place his crown upon his head? Faith, Hope, and Charity." THE LILY BED. His cedar paddle, scented, red, He thrust down through the lily bed; Cloaked in a golden pause he lay, Locked in the arms of the placid bay. Trembled alone his bark canoe As shocks of bursting lilies flew Thro' the still crystal of the tide, And smote the frail boat's birchen side; Or, when beside the sedges thin Rose the sharp silver of a fin; Or when, a wizard swift and cold, A dragon-fly beat out in gold And jewels all the widening rings Of waters singing to his wings; Or, like a winged and burning soul, Dropped from the gloom an oriole On the cool wave, as to the balm Of the Great Spirit's open palm The freed soul flies.

Stillness sat in his lodge of leaves; Clung golden shadows to its eaves, And on its cone-spiced floor, like maize, Red-ripe, fell sheaves of knotted rays. The wood, a proud and crested brave; Bead-bright, a maiden, stood the wave. And he had spoke his soul of love With voice of eagle and of dove. Of loud, strong pines his tongue was made; His lips, soft blossoms in the shade, That kissed her silver lips--her's cool As lilies on his inmost pool--Till now he stood, in triumph's rest, His image painted in her breast. One isle 'tween blue and blue did melt, --A bead of wampum from the belt Of Manitou--a purple rise On the far shore heaved to the skies. His cedar paddle, scented, red, He drew up from the lily bed; All lily-locked, ...
