Rhythm They tell ere new methods now gov- ern the Muses, The modes of expression have changed with the times; That low is' the rank of the poet who uses The old-fashioned verse with inten- tional rhymes.

But oh! the sweet swing of it, ohl the clear ring of it, Ohl the great pulse of it, right from the beart, Art in' 110 art. I sat by the side of that old poet, Ocean, And counted the billows that broke on the rocks; The tide lilted in with a rhythmical motion; The sen gulls dipped downward in time -keeping flocks. I watched while a giant wave gathered its forces, And then on the gray granite preci- pice burst; And I knew as I counted, while other waves mt.-anted, I knew the tenth billow would rhyme with the first. Below in the village a church -bell was chin , And backingin the woodland a little bird sang; And, doubt it who will, yet those two sounds were rhyming, As out o'cr the hill -tops they echoed tied rang. The Wh'ds and the Trees fell to talk- ing together; And nothing they said was didactic u• terse; - But everything spolteu was told in un- broken And beaurfl rhyming and rhythmi- cal ., arse.
