ON THE SAGUENAY.
"IMPROMPTU."
From the French of Louis H. Fréchette, in "Pêle-Mêle."
The forest has spells to enchant me,
The mountain has power to enthral:
Yet the grace of a wayside blossom
Can stir my heart deeper than all.
O towering steeps, that are mirrored
On Saguenay's darkening breast!
O grim, rocky heights, sternly frowning,
The thunders have smitten your crest!
