ne, See a Nam i i RNR Eo err A STEED AND THE DESERT FOR ME.

BY CALDER CAMPBELL.

The court and the city may do for the crowd

Who worship the world for the petty and proud,

For the lover of lucre, the wooer of pelf,

Whose God is of gold, and whose idol is self;

Bat for me, born (aftr froin the market and mart)

Where liberty co:mes frem the breeze to the heart,

There is death in such spots, where { cannot breathe free ;

Oh !a Steed and the Desert for me!—

The roses have fragrance in cities, ‘tis true,

Saloons may be sprinkled with essences too;

But the dew-drops that fall ’neath the stars and the moon,

By Nature are fraught with a far richer boon

Of scent and of hue; forno art can bestow

Their native endowments of perfume or glow.

My rosebuds [ pluck ’mid green bowers from the tree:

Oh! a steed and the Desert for me!

1 hate the harsh noise of the cymbal and drum,

i hate the loud sounds from the timbre! that come :

The nightingale’s song in the silenceotmght, And the lark’s and the linnet’s when sunshine is bright, Are sweeter and softer, and mingle so well

With all the clear echoes of mountain and dell,

That they seem to my sense earth’s true music to be: Oh! a Steed and the Desert for me:

Then give me the date-tree that shadows our tents,

And the wild flowers that fill all the air with their | years of which are unexpired.

scents, And the pure well of water that springs ‘neath the trees: Where the wife of my youth, with our boy on her knees, | Sings welcoming songs as at mgltfall I seek | For the light of my life in the simile on her cheek. Away with your towns where no freedom can be; Oh! a Steed and the Desert fur me!
