(The red fire of their heart)
With speed that may not tire
And with pain that shall not part--
*
There is found, in the Rhone, a beautiful lily of the

*** It is a fiction of the Indians, that Cupid was first
seen floating in one of these down the river Ganges--and
that he still loves the cradle of his childhood.
**** And golden vials full of odors which are the prayers of the saints.
--Rev. St. John.
Who livest--that we know--
In Eternity--we feel--
But the shadow of whose brow
What spirit shall reveal?
Tho' the beings whom thy Nesace,
Thy messenger hath known
Have dream'd for thy Infinity
*A model of their own--
