When Eden with its dewy bowers Was fragrant with unfading And thistle sting and stealthy thorn No foot bad pierced nor nnger torn; When Adam aad his helper meet, Contented with the fruit they eat, Were filled with Joy from mora to even, And earth was but a part of The antrela with familiar feet Game oft tbe happy noene to greet. And trooping forth in shining pairs Went up and down on Jacob stairs.

But when in horrible disguise Guilt raised Its bead In paradise, Those heavenly guests in holy dread' Quick veiled their eyes and upward fled; And. baiting on the starry shore To count their frightened number o'er, Discovered with a sad surprise That two had failed to reach tbe sUea.

world complete -Bad far beguiled their rambling feet; Till trembling at the shadow throw On all that once in beauty sbone, -la swift retreat they hurried oa And found, alas, the ladder gone! Song lingering yet by vale and hill, Those twin celestial sisters still Together through the earth do roam. Together sing their songs of home.
