THE DISCARDED SON.
NIGHTS sable mantle wrapp'd the worldin darkness,
Loud howis the tempest, louder still the thunder
When apoor outcast, wretcIicd by misfortune,
KnocRd at my window.
~Who wants admittance," instantly cried out,
Soon voice replied, one who is weary,
o Cold, wet, fatgued--by his friends forsaken--
Pity Stranger ~
The voice recognized, conscience gnaw'd within me,
''Ah why, regardless of thy nexpcrience,
Ibid !, in anger, my son, replied,
"Rudely discard thee"
When the door open'd and bcheld his features,
Once so admired by cv'ry bcholder,
Pale with disease, and witberrd by famine,
Grief swclrd my bosom.
sccarccly could speak loud as embraced him,
b. III slcht anguish ye,ted my sorrow
While in broken accents, IeNRy exclaimed,
Father, forgive me :"
Ask not,' said, you alone are bIamecss
:" For had taught thee precepts of religion,
g Or virtues meals in thy mind instiIled,
Thou hadst not erred
AS thus spoke, nc sunk upon the 1oor, and
Rolled L.s eyes most pitcously toward me
Iut death soon clos'd them and like statue,
stood amazed
Guilt Ike food, now overwhelmed my senses,
flushed upon me like mighty torrent
Despair. rash despair, swcs my raging BOSOM
am murd'rer! !!
