SUNRISE ON THE HILLS.
bt n. w. LOPGrfXLOiv.
I stood upon ihe hills, whcn heaven'k wide arch
"Was glorious wilh thesun's returning marcb,
And woods wcre bnghtened, and solt gales
"Went forth to kiss the sun-clad vales.
The douds werc far benealh rae; bathed in light,
They gathered mid-way round the wooded he igh t
And in their fading glory, shone
Like hosts in battle ovcrthrown,
As manr a pinnicle. with shiftingc'ance,
Throueh the env mist thrust up its ahaltere'd
lance,
And rockingon the cliffwas left
The dark pine blasted, bare and cleft.
The veil of elond was lified, and below
Glowed the rich valley, and the river's flow
"Was darkened by the forcsl's shadf,
Or glistened in the white cascade;
Wherc upward in the mellow blush of day,
Tlie noisy bittcrn whccicd his spiral ray.
I heard the distant u'alers dash,
t ,sar the current whfrl and flash,
And lichly by thc bluc lake's silver beach,
Thcn o'cr the valc with genlle swell,
The music of the villagebcll
C:imc u-eelly to tbeecbo givi:.g hills;
And the wild IiTn wl.ose voice the woodland
hills,
Was rinsing to thc merry shout,
That faint and far thc glen scnlout,
Wherc, answeringto tlie sudden shol.lhin smokc
Through thick-lcavcd branclies from thc dinglc
