Out of the Mist

STELLA L. MYATT
Out of the mist in the day's early dawning,Spread like a garment o'er hillside and glen,Sparkling and fresh with the dews of the morning,Comes the green earth in its beauty again;Where the bright sun casts its rays, warm and tender,Melt like a shadow the vapors away,From snowy peaks where, in radiant splendor,Shines the fair promise of blessings to-day.
