BLUE AND GRAY Intelligent and bright, Thine eye is all alight-- Enraptnrerl and inspired. Yet by the u'ater's side In siehlning greenish scnna. What seest then? Come! Reveal to me the ufonders that inspire, confide. Why looh thoa into the mire? He paused, then answered, Sire, Unhind your words. Until yon spoke and called me 'fool' An azure, crystal shy Did faseinate mine eye, I san' celestial things reflected in the pool. The moss is in decay, ' The 'water stagnant, yeam 'Tis foul: yet in it rose a stately shy-piercing pine, And near its needled crest An oriole entwinecl a, nest- Let song bespeah his thoughts, endeared his heart to mine. Thou did'st censure meg Yet thoii failed to see The silver gleam of the sun which shone on the fishes' fin. Why ani I a fool T To gaze into the Pool, ' When thou saw nonght but filthy things when thou looked in? 'Tis God that 'man reflects, His body that bedechs The image, soul, is but a spot-a bloteh of sod. Looh long into the sonls of mankind, Seeh good and thoil shalt find Looe, Hope, Faith--divine reflections of God.
