Harper's Young People, June 29, 1880 Part 11

My fourth is in meditate, not in think.

My fifth is in seed, but not in germ.

My sixth is in snug, but not in firm.

My seventh is in short, but not in long.

My eighth is in mult.i.tude, not in throng.

 

My whole is sought by old and young, By bards its praises oft are sung; But while it promises to stay, It fades and vanishes away.

Our firsts in trouble, not in need.

Our seconds in guide, but not in lead.

Our thirds in tumble, not in fall.

Our fourths in height, but not in tall.

Our fifths in stanza, not in rhyme.

Our sixths in gymnast, not in climb.

Hid in these words two painters lie, Whose names and works will never die.
