The lady with the gay macaw, ‘The dancing gir!, the grave bashaw With — chin ; And leaning idly o’er bis gate, Beneath the imperial fan of state The Chinese mandarin. With what a look of proud command Thou shakest in thy litte hand The coral rattle with its silver belis, Making a merry wine! s of years in Indian seas ‘That cera! grew, by slow degrees, Until some deadly and wild Dashed it on Coromandel’s sand! Those silver bells Reposed of yore, As shapeless ore, Far down in the deep-sunken wells Of darksome mines, In some obscure and sunless place, Beneath huge Chimborazo’s base, Or steep Potosi’s mountain pines! And thus for thee, O little child, bh many a danger and escape, ‘The tall ships paseed the stormy cape; For thee in foreiga lands remote, Beneath burning, tropic clime, The Indian peasant, chasing the wild goat, Himself as swift and wild, In failing, clutched ihe frail ai bute, ‘The fibres of whore shallow root, Uplifted from the soil, betrayed The cilver veins beneath it laid, The buried treasures of the miser, Time. But lo! thy door is left 1 ‘Thou hearest footsteps from afar! And, at the sound ‘Thon turnest round With quick and questionirg eyes, Like one, who, in a foreign land, Behbolds on every hand Some source of wonder and surprise ! And, es:ly, impatiently, Chou strivest, struggiest, to be frec. ‘The four walis of thy nursery Are now like prison walis to thee. No more thy mother’s amiles, No more the painted tiles, Detight thee, nor the playthings on the ficor, ‘That won thy little, beating heart before ; Thou strugglest for the oper door . ae * « Ocbild! O new born denizen Of life’s great city! on thy head ‘The gi f the morn is shed, Like a cciestial benisen! Here at the portal thou dost atand, And with uby little hand Thou cpenest the mysterious gate Into the fature’s undiscovered land. I see its valves expand, As at the touch of Fate!
