Teach me thy simple creed, that, living, I

May live like thee, and as serenely die!

E.F. GREEN.

TO THE UNNAMED FALL IN THE YOSEMITE VALLEY.

Thou needest not that any man should name thee;

God counts thine ethereal jewels, one by one;

And, lest some selfish, inappropriate word should claim thee,

Silent, we watch thee sparkle in the sun.

BENJAMIN FAY MILLS.
