89 THE DYING MODEL. A Picture by James E. Freeman. As when the artist having wrought awhile, Stands back and scans his work with long survey, Achieved and unattained to reconcile. Till fact with fancy blends and toil with play. So Time's perspective, in Rome's hallowed air. From keen pursuit allures her musing guest — With tranquil vision all her charms to share — The latent harvest of prolific rest. He learns to linger in the path of life To look on Nature with a patient eye, Forget awhile the... tumult and the strife And feel the beauty of the earth and sky. As thus we loitered on an autumn-day, A boy with olive cheek and dark-brown eyes, Who in the sunshine basked along the way. Became to vagrant hearts a cherished prize. 12 go THE DYING MODEL. I never look upon a noble boy, But hope and fear awake a prescient thrill ; Life's battle yet iinwon, his reckless joy O'erleaps the future with confiding will. And this young Roman acolyte of art, Of boyhood was the gracious type and king, Of every phase the destined counterpart, Whose presence seemed a benison to bring : When, gleesome feasting on his grapes and crust, A little Bacchus blithe and " debonnaire ;■" When, wistful gazing with pathetic trust, An Ismael of the desert sadly fair.
