CLOUDS. FROllI THE METROPOLITAN FOR SEPTEMBER. "I DOTE upon the skies, A book whose changing leaves contain Many a lesson for the wise, Whereon fools gaze in vain Nought they see but clouds, and blue Vacant spaces shining through,- But thou and I therein can see Beauty—love—eternity See yon little plumy isle Floating in a sea of light,- Gladden'd by the sun's last smile, Beautifully bright! See that lengthen'd purple throng Mingled in disorder, Wave-like, blazing all along With a golden border Countless severed pieces, lo Which appear to lie On the blue, like flakes of snow, Lovely to the eye! I dote upon the skies I love to watch the summer-cload, Now into a mountain rise, Now a palace proud Now a dome, and now a tower, Pyramid, or fairy-bower! O'er the skies my pleased eye ranges, Loving all their endless changes But mostly, when the lonely moon Along her quiet path is stealing, And sweetly bringing into tune Each jarring thought and feeling, Do I rejoice to gaze above, And take my fill of love Or when the little stars" are blinking, Or stilly looking down From skies without a frown, On lake beneath no night-breeze shrinking, Do I indulge my pensive thinking, Inspired by their soft beams 0 then I know the bliss of linking Melancholy dreams I love the jagged, crag-like heaps, Where the embryo hail-storm sleeps, And the arrowy, icy splinter With the drenching shower is mix'd In the days disputed 'twixt Rosy Spring and hoary Winter And I love the scudding rack, When the autumn winds blow shrill. And the spectre-shade glides black Along the ridgy hill I love the giant-forms Of the clouds in thunder-storms, Rolling in majestic motion Like the waves along the ocean; Awful are their sable masses, When the vivid lightning passes Through them with its zig-zag flash, Heralding the thunder-crash!
