POETRY.

THE PAUPER'S FUNERAL:

A ror:Tic SKETCH

There is a music melancholy, sad,
Breath'd' from the Ocean's breast,—upon the ear
The murmuring hollow moan of Autumn's breeze
Falls mournful, and the loud and ravingblast,
Forcing an echo from the 'Cavern's bars
And rugged sides, makes wild and-gloomy cadence.
But, oh ! much more than these there is a tone,
Whose dull monotony and solemn depth,.
Blend awe with sorrow. 'Tis the funeral knell,
The voice, with which the grave demands its prey !.
Bark ! forth it peals,—and though the air is fill'd
With sounds of busy life—.'tis heard, o'er all r
Whom doth it summon from this restless world ?
Is some proud son of luxury compell'd
To lay his pomp in dust ? That bell with full
And deep sonorous throat seems meet to bid
The lofty to their home. But 'tie not so,
It chaunts its dreary melody alike
For rich and poor. And now, its measur'd swell
Tolls for a child of want,—a Pauper's Girl !
Amid the City's noise, and through the din
Of crowded streets, with steps of heartless haste,
The humble group advances, mark'd by none,
For there is nought of splendid pageantry,
No titled state, no gorgeous liverietl'train .
To court the eye of wonder, or the gaze
Of idle curiosity arrest.
No feather'd banner waves its sable head,
Type of a renal, fawning, crying world,
Obsequious to the Great, though in a shrowd !
The hand of Parish bounty pampers not
To Vanity's conceits, or false parade ;
lint here the kindly and the sacred claims
Of soft Humanity are unfulfill'd._ •
Von simple tenement, whose walls are built,
To guard their inmate through the lapse of ages,
Will make but weak defence 'gainst Time's assaults
The Pall that o'er its coarse rude form is flung,
Soil'd, torn and scant, scarce hides it from the view,
But though thus bared to scrutiny, the throng
Pars on, nor yield a look, a sigh, or tear,—
None mourn for Juiia—Julia, friendless, poor !
Yes one, her Sister.—She to, when she was
In health and peace, in pain and sickness, still
The sum of every human hope and joy—
She follows close ;—her slow and faltering gait,
Would fain reprove the heartless haste of those
Who hurry on her idol to the tomb,—
She treads along in solitary woe,
The emblem of her own deserted state—
Her eye upon the-eoflin rests, with fled
And changless gaze—no other object sees.
That eye was brilliant once, but now the tears.
Which from its sunken lid in torrents gush,
Both hue and brightness dim. The blazing Sub.
Glares on her thin wan cheeks, as if to chew
)low fair a soil have care and anguish pbugh'd ;
Fe: 'tis not Time'sscmorseless march has dug
These furrows in her face,—her years ate few,
Though long and_tlreltr the race her soul has run.
But rapture isnot ineasut'd out by space,
Nor agony by span. '['he soul alone,
eircu Inscribed, its limits. must decree.
Vq.,ling oe.henres.nbrolututetFt,
