AN IRISH LEGEND."

THE CASTLE OF KATHLEEN ;

Rontoixar..)
There's a tongue in those moukrring walls,—
In that sad yet mighty decay 1
In the wreck of towers, and gorgeous halls—
In the dust of gallant and gay 1
A wilderness all ! yet her own native green,
Still raves where the Castle of Kathleen hash been !
ft bloody and fierce was the strife,
When the Saxon, with ruthless sword,
Invaded the dwelling, and sought the life
Of the fair Lady Kathleen's lord!
"end, oh ! wretched their fate in that hapless:hour,
Who hoped to find mercy in Saxon power.!
Far hence was the chief of her love,
Yet she quall'd not—nor tear she shed,
But nobly 'gainat woman's softness she styove,
As with heroine heart she said
Away ! proud invader !--the banner of green,
Shall float while the Castle of Kathleen is:seen 1"

•Twos a fearful struggle that broke
On the peace of that lonely glen! •
'Midst the cannons' roar and the clouds of smoke,
Rose the shouts and the groans of men !
Assault ! and repulse !—and the onset renewed !
But vain !—lAdy Kathleen is still unsubdued

Now a pause : when sudden eydl
Issued forth from the Saxon bound
And the savage and fiend-like echo fell
Like a pestilence far around
And Kathleen !—she shuddering shrunk ate their joy !—•
He was theirs !—he was captive !--her fintsborn boy !
0, horror ! 0, honor ! the sight !
For a mother's all-doatlng eye !
One look ! and she sprung from the rampart's height,
In the burst of her agony
And, oh, save him shrieked she, despairing and wild,
We yield us—we yield us—oh, mercy !—my child !
She swoon'd as she sunk to the earth,
Pale and death-like—yet life remain'd •
p While loudly the Saxon al her in mirth,
As the castle's gates then he gain'd !
Night fell o'er it's turrets, rear'd proudly of yore ;
But no lady—nor castle—saw morning more !
• • • • • • •

There's a tongue in those mould-ring walla...
In that sad, yet mighty decay !
In the wreck of towers and gorgeous halls—
In the dust of pliant and gay !
A wilderness all !—yet her own native green
Still waves where the Castle of Kathleen bath been !
