ON THE DEATH OF A YOUNG LADY,

IN A CONSUMPTION.

• HUAI Is the Summer evenin '• softer• breath,
Save where low murmurs 'mid the bushes creep,
The groves all darken at the news of death,
And mournful willows bwer bend to weep. -

The fair EL tan's opening charms are fit d,
And Hope's gay blossoms, nipp'd in early bloom;
Cold is the hand that rnial bounties shed,
And wit and genius vanish'd In the tomb !
Consumption gently laid her beauties low,
• Infus'd the poison, but eonceal'd the dart ;
And while her sparkling eyes apptar'd to glow
Drank deep the life-blood of her trembling heart.
Soft Resignation upwards turn'd lice eyes,
Affliction's dal ksorne vale she meekly trod;
Raptur'd she svk in glorious winds to rise,
• And, grateful sought the bosons of her GOD.
Say, Heav'nly Spirit, did'st thou, coold't thou 'hear,
The sighs that then our bursting heartstrings rung,
'When ev'ry eye-lid shone with friendship's tear,
I - And every rose its drooping blossoms hung?
0, didst thou, bending, view their eager kiss,
That press'd thy pallid cheek with tenirrtst love?
Drop then a tear.........if souls can weep in bliss,
Or soft emotions warm the Courts above!

Touch'd by the silence of that awul scene,
Was scarce one tearless eye amidst the crowd,
Then graceful Sorrow struck the loftiest mien,
'Mlc Woman's softer soul dsolv'ci aloud.
