LITTLE VISIT S WITH "UNCLE BY"

Aurora. There is a maid whom poets know— Aurora of the morning. She thrills the east with purple glow The horizon adorning. She wakes the perfume in the rose And opes the petals glowing, She gilds the ripple as it blows On crooning waters flowing. She comes a rkdiant bow of light And scatters all the darkness. The ghostly outlines of the night She strips of all their starkness. The dragon ghosts of black are sped And Life, with hope is flushing, As Phoebus lifts her rosy head And sets the world to blushing. The heavens all are filled with gold. The hills and dales adorning— Thus comes the fairest of the fold. And lo! behold! ’tis morning!
