"PRESS ON."

A RIVULET'S SONG.

"Just under an island, 'midst rushes and moss,

I was born of a rock-spring, and dew:

I was shaded by trees, whose branches and leaves

Ne'er suffered the sun to gaze through.

"I wandered around the steep brow of a hill,

Where the daisies and violets fair

Were shaking the mist from their wakening eyes,

And pouring their breath on the air.
