LIVINGSTONE IN AFRICA.
Upon a gentle, green acclivity,
Under a venerable Mowana tree,
Garlanded with odorous flowers,
Tranquil in the sunny hours,
She sleeps in glory!
Orchards of mango basking in the south;
Northward fair palm, and many a noble growth
Of oriental forest tree,
Where silvern Liambayee
Wanders in glory;
On his fair bosom many a sunny isle,
Calm as herself within the heavenly smile:
Upon the marble of her grave
Mowana shadows gently wave,
Waver in glory.
Pearly light clouds about his purple form,
High in the azure, deep, and wide, and warm,
Mount Morambala soareth high,
Serene in mountain majesty,
Dreaming in glory:
