 When within the leafy forests, as I move the paths along, 
 
 I inhale the woodland perfumes, and I list the wild bird\. song, 
 
 Or mark some wild thing scurrying to shelter 'neath the brake; 
 
 Or catch, at eve. the radiance on some hill-encompassed lake; 
 
 When from tree-line camp, at dawning, I ascend to mountain height, 
 
 And behold the untold glory of the morning's breaking light. 
 
 Paling moon and stars above me, fleecy clouds spread far below. 
 
 Restless as are wind-stirred feathers, spotless as the driven snow; 
 
 And when'er the ocean calls me and I'm out upon the deep. 
 
 Where the stormy petrel wanders and the mighty billows sweep, 
 
 While the tapering masts are bending, and the lee rail's bending low, 
 
 And every sail is straining as the fierce nor-westers blow; 
 
 Aye, whene'er my heart's exultant and my pulse is beating free, 
 
 As a carrier pigeon homing, so my thoughts are turned to thee, 
 
 And this WISH spontaneous cometh, as rise bubbles in a spring. 
 
 That t'ne senses God has given may thee countless blessing bring. 
 
 Be cor panions in thy pleasures, counsellors in every deed. 
 
 Guides and guards when dangers threaten, firmest friends in time of need. 
 
 TASTE, that he may wander for thee o'er Earth's regions far and near, 
 
 .Searching through her vast dominions, back within his arms to bear. 
 
 From her gardens and her orchards, from her fields of waving grain, 
 
 From the vineyards on the hillsides, from the groves that dot the plain. 
 
 From the barrens and the prairies, from the forest's shady bound, 
 
 From the lakes and rushing rivers, from the ocean's depths profound. 
 
 Flavors of all vegetables, grains and herbs she bringeth forth. 
 
 From the lands of the Equator to the ice fields of the North; 
 
 Of the products of the dairy, of the farmyard's feathered brood. 
 
 All the tasty combinations art of cook makes fit for food; 
 
 Sweet white bread and meats delicious, fresh and salted, smoked or dried, 
 
 Roasted o'er the glowing embers, boiled or steamed or broiled or fried; 
 
 Of the grayling, trout and salmon, of all fish that swim the sea. 
 
 Of the turtle and the shell-fish in their vast variety. 
 
 And the gaminess of wild birds, and the haunch of venison. 
 
 That bring to one sweet memories of the moorland and the glen; 
 
 Of the berries of the wildwoods, of the nuts of different lands, 
 
 From the fair Kashmerian valley and the desert's shifting sands; 
 
 Of those luscious fruits that ripen but within the temperate zone. 
 
 And those that to perfection come in tropic lands alone. 
 
 From the gardens of Damascus, from the hills of Palestine, 
 
 From the groves of far Valencia and the vineyards of the Rhine, 
 
 From the sun baked plains of Egypt, from the land of Italy, 
 
 From the valley of the Danube and the isle of Sicily, 
 
 From the homes of Merry England, from the vales of Canada, 
 
 From the shores of the Pacific, or the fields of Georgia; 
 
 Of the juices of the birches and the kingly maple trees, 
 
 I 
 
The milky flow of the Taqua that lures the wandering bees; 
 
 Of the fragrant leaves of China and the Islands of Japan. 
 
 The cacoa of Honduras and the shores of Yucatan, 
 
 And the coffee plant of Yemen, in f&i'- Araby the blest. 
 
 And the aromatic spices of the Islands of the west. 
 
 Aye, from every land ex "ing, from each island of the sea, 
 
 Tribute of their best possessions, tribute but to bear to thee; 
 
 And the cup of sparkling water dipp'd from out the wayside spring. 
 
 Which back to the tired body will both strength and courage bring: 
 
 That he give thee keenest relish, bring thee what thou likest best, 
 
 Show thee plainly how each flavor is distinct from all the rest: 
 
 Deep impress thee with the knowledge, which will tend to make thee strong. 
 
 Which will keep thee free from sickness, which will best thy life prolong; 
 
 Teach thee too how good each one is. tell thee too to thankful be. 
 
 To enjoy them all with Judgment, to beware of Gluttony. 
 
 FEELING, with wide spreading pinions, floating through the ambient air, 
 Teaching all the winds of Heaven how to gambol through thy hair, 
 How to kiss each cheek in passing, how to give thee buffet strong. 
 Tempering each to thy condition as thou mov'f t the roads along. 
 Bearing thee refreshing breezes when too sultry is the day. 
 Glowing heat and clothing's comfort to keep Winter's cold away: 
 The tempered bath for tired limbs, the thrill of plunge in wave. 
 And that which swells through ev'ry nerve of those alone who have 
 The strength that hardened sinews give and muscles deftly trained, 
 When exercise is pleasure great, though hard and long sustained. 
 When the limbs are firm as iron and the bending oar's a treat. 
 And the ground on which thou treadest is but spurned beneath thy feet. 
 And that glorious exultation, when the heart is beating high. 
 And gallant deeds are to be done and dangei draweth nigh: 
 The tender touch of woman's hand, the clasp of friendship blest. 
 Children's arms clasped close about thee, press of lips thou lov'st the beat. 
 
 SMELL, who bearing to thy nostrils welcome breath of early Spring. 
 All the perfumes of the flowers, round about thy path to fling; 
 Mayflower of surpassing sweetness. Rose and lowly Violet, 
 Lilac, Lily of the Valley, Honeysuckle, Mignonette: 
 All the odors of the forest irom the ferns and flowers beguiled. 
 Balm of Gilead, Larch and Fir trees. Pines and Spruces of the wild; 
 Scent of new-mown hay and grain fields, borne like incense 'fore the wind. 
 Fragrance of the myrrh and aloe, spice and herbs of every kind. 
 And the gust of salty sea air thou inhal'st with deep-drawn breath, 
 And the freshness of the stormy blast from off the barren heath. 
 Teaches thee each subtle difference, fixes in thy memory. 
 Showest thee how good they all are, tellest thet to thankful be. 
 
 HEARING, swiftly bringing thee, o'er mountain, vale and moor. 
 
 From the wild-woods, from the meadows, from the rocks that line the shore. 
 
 All Earth's wondrous music, more than thou can'st well conceive. 
 
 From the early rising morning until late retiring eve. 
 
 The warbling of the happy birds as they flit from tree to tree. 
 
 The notes of the fearless Robin and the busy Chic-a-dee, 
 
 The clear sweet trill of the Linnet, the Finch's soft refrain. 
 
 The Mockingbird's sweet mimicry, the Lark's triur phant strain; 
 
 The rustling of the branches before the gentle breeze, ...

 le shore, 
 
 The soughing of the storm-wind among the forest trees. 
 
 The bubbUng of the httle brooks as o'er the stones they leap. 
 
 The rush of the mighty river, the cataract's thunder deep. 
 
 The murmur of the ocean as it circles rocky cave. 
 
 The roar of the angry breakers, the swish of the white-capped wave. 
 
 The whistling of the tempest through the shrouds of the lonely bark, 
 
 The furious rage of the elements about her pathway dark. 
 
 The peal of the distant thunder, the wind of the merry horn. 
 
 The silver clang of the vesper bells across the water borne. 
 
 The martial note3 of the fife and drum, the blast of bugle clear, 
 
 The mellow breathing of the flute upon the evening air. 
 
 The stirring sound of the bagpipes high up the r^ountain lone. 
 
 The violin's sweet melody, the harp's triumphant tone, 
 
 Cathedral bells at evening on the lang'rous southern air. 
 
 Or flinging wide, at Christmastide. their message of good cheer. 
 
 The songs of those sweet singers that high the spirits raise. 
 
 The choirs and glorious organs, in psalms or hymns of praise. 
 
 Or in anthems' fuller chorus, when rising higli and higher, 
 
 They echo through the valuted roofs of chancel nave and choir, 
 
 And seem, to worshippers devout, to speed on wings of love. 
 
 Past spreading dome and tapering spire to foot of throne above; 
 
 The sailors' lusty "chanties" as with will they heave away. 
 
 The shouting and the laughter of children at their play. 
 
 The pattering of the little feet, as o'er the floor they go. 
 
 The voices of thy loved ones in accents sweet and low. 
 
 AND SIGHT, the greatest of them all, the true and trusty friend, 
 
 Thy guide and thy companion wherever thou may'st wend, 
 
 Leading thee through fertile fields, up hill and mountain steep. 
 
 O'er beaten road, through densest wood, across the trackless deep. 
 
 .Showing thee the beauties of the coming day's first beam. 
 
 The roseate rays of the rising sun, as o'er the sky they stream, 
 
 Chasing away the shadows from each cave, and glen and brake. 
 
 And all the deep reflections that linger on the lake. 
 
 Fast robbing of her glory the cold mistress of the night. 
 
 And filling earth, and sky. and sea, with warmth, and life, and light. 
 
 The pearly dewdrop's brillancy. the azure of the sky. 
 
 The graceful wreathing of the mists as o'er the hills they fly. 
 
 The fleecy whif^.ness of the clouds, the brightness of the day 
 
 When the sun has reached mid Heaven on his majestic way: 
 
 The tints of the distant mountains as they mingle with the cloud. 
 
 The warmer hazes of the day that round their bases crowd. 
 
 The darker hue of the forest, the sheen of sheltered lakes, 
 
 The graceful bend of the river as it onward way it takes; 
 
 The heaving breast of the ocean, the roll of its restless tide. 
 
 The whitened crests of the giant waves that roam o'er its bosom wide. 
 
 The living greens of the hillside, of each grass and grain and tiee, 
 
 The gaudy arch of the rainbow, the sun-dogs on the sea; 
 
 The gentle sway of the branches of the trees against the sky. 
 
 The thousand shades and colors only known to artist's eye. 
 
 The livery of the butterfly, the birds' bright plumage gay. 
 
 All the glories o^ the flowers that grow about thy way; 
 
 Of the little plants and mosses, almost hidden from the eye. 
 
 So delicately perfect, so fair and yet so shy; 
 
 The flutter of birds through the ether, the flight of the white-winged ships. 
 
The glancing fins of the flying fish, as from wave to wave it skips; 
 
 The gorgeous shades of evening as the sun dips out of sight. 
 
 The deeper blue of thr heavens as older grows the night; 
 
 The twinkling of the many stars, the silver moon's pale ray. 
 
 Her wake of dancing splendor across the watery way; 
 
 The Aurora Borealis, its quivering pennons bright. 
 
 And the flowing phosphorescense of the ocean's meteor light; 
 
 The livid gleam of the lightning athwart the midnight sky, 
 
 The ruddy glow of the firelight when hungry flames leap high; 
 
 The glitter of the moonlight on the wastes of driven snow, 
 
 And its sparkle on the iceclad trees and frozen lake below; 
 
 The mountains snowclad summits, the glaciers frozen stream. 
 
 The icebergs glittermg pinnacles, that shafts of crystal seem; 
 
 The peace of the sheltered valley, ere the reapers start to reap. 
 
 The turmoil of the seashore when ocean's billows sweep; 
 
 The clearness of the amber, the gleam of burnished gold. 
 
 And all the wondrous treasures the mines of earth unfold. 
 
 The diamond's dazzling lustre, the ruby's ruddy hue. 
 
 The yellow glint of the topaz, the sapphire's matchless blue. 
 
 The green of the princely emerald, the shades tlic garnet throws. 
 
 And all the beauteous changes the precious opal shows; 
 
 Beryl and onyx and jasper, and the pearl's soft brilliancy; 
 
 All the stores of written knowledge in the world's great library: 
 
 Gems of architectural grandeur, dreams by sculptor's art expressed. 
 
 And all the mspiration by painter's work possessed; 
 
 The tossing head of the thoroughbred, his stride so strong and free, 
 
 Th' affection in the dog's brown eyes when his head rests on thy knee. 
 
 The happy face of a little child that knows not doubt nor fear. 
 
 The maiden's soft and glowing checks, bright eyes and glorious hair; 
 
 Youth's frankly open countenance, proud step and carriage high. 
 
 The purpose in the honest face, the flash of the fearless eye; 
 
 The charm of the beautiful woman, her sweet attractive grace. 
 
 And manhood's strength and vigor and bronzed and bearded face. 
 
 The beaming smile of friendship, that hails thee welcome guest. 
 
 And the lovelight in the glances of those thou lovest best. 
 
 Yet, m^y these too, in armour bright, with swords and shields attend. 
 
 That bitter things ne'er reach to thee, nor odors foul offend. 
 
 That Pain's sharp arrows pass thee by, and Sickness be defied. 
 
 And Pestilence be driven off, and Sin be forced aside. 
 
 With Discord, Strife and Wretchedness, and Grief that thou would'st flee. 
 
 And Visions that would mar they rest, and Sights thou should'st not see. 
 
 And when thy day is ending, and the evening shadows fall. 
 
 May thou with peaceful heart await the coming of the call; 
 
 May Taste with youthful fervour attend upon thy bed. 
 
 And Feeling waft thee cooling breeze to circle round thy head. 
 
 May Smell bring thee the perfumes of the wildwoods and the sea, 
 
 Hearing, the loving accents of those most dear to thee. 
 
 And Sight, the boon companion of all thy waking hours, 
 
 Hold back the curtain of the night and bring thee ere it lowers. 
 
 All that thine eyes would gaze upon, "Sunset and evening star" 
 
 And only let its folds drop low as thou dost "cross the bar."
