Alas how little do we appreciate mothers ten
derness while living How heed IS we in youth
of all her anxieties and kindness But when she is
dead and gone; when the cares and GOODNESS of the
world come whitening to our hearts; when we find
how hard ii IS to find true sympathy, how few love
us for ourselves, how few will befrend in our mis-
fortunes then it is that think Of the mother we
have lost Iistrue that had always loved my mo-
ther even in my most needless days; but felt how
inconsiderate and Intellectual had been my love-
NV heart melted as retraced the days OF infancy,
when I was led by mothers hand, and rocked to
sleep in mothers arms, and was without care or
sorrow. "Oh, my mother !" exclaimed |, burying
my face again in the grass Of the grave Oh! that

A LUCID INTERVAL.

ALUCID INTERVAL.
Oh light is pleasant to the eye,
And health comes rustlng on the gale:
Clouds are careering through the sky,
Whose shadows mock them down the dale
Nature as fresh and fragrant seems
AS | have met her in my dreams
For | have been pris 'ner long
In gloom and loneliness of mind,
Deaf to the melody of song,
To every form of beauty blind
Nor morning dew, nor evening balm,
Night cool my cheek, my bosom calm
But now the blood, the blood returns,
With rapturous pulses through my veins;
My heart, new born within me, burns,
My limbs break loose, they cast their chains.
Rekindled at the sun, my sight
Tracks to point the eagles fight
long to climb those old grey rocks,
Glide with yon river to the deep
Range the green hills with herds and focks,
Free as the roe-buck, run and leap;
Then mount the lark's victorious wing,
Aud from the depth of ether sing.
Earth in maiden innocence,
Too early fed thy golden time
O Earth Earth Earth for mans offence,
Doon'd to dishonour in thy prime;
OF how much glory then bereft
Yet what world of bliss was left
The thorn, harsh emblem of the curse,
Puts forth paradise Of flowers
Labour, mans punishment, is nurse
To IIalcyon joys at sunset hours
Plague, famine, earthquake, want, disease,
Give birth to hottest charities.
And Death himself, with all the woes
That hasten, yet prolong, his stroke
Death brings with every pang repose,
With every sigh he solves a yoke
Yea, his cold sWeats and moaning strife
Wiring out the bitterness of life.
Life, life, with all its burthens, dear
Friendship is sweet, Love sweeter still;
Who would forego a smile, tear,
One generous hope, one chastenlng Ill
Home, kindred, country these are ties
Might keep an angel from the skies.
But these have angels never known,
Unvex'd felicity their lot;
Their sea Of glass before the throne,
Storm, lightning, shipwreck, visit not
Our tides, beneath the changing moon,
Are soon appeased-arc troubled soon.
Well, will bear what all have borne,
Live my few years, and fill my places
Ger old and young affections mourn,
Rent one by one from my embrace;
Till suffering ends, and have done
With all delights beneath the sun.
Whence came | Memory cannot say;
Whatgam knowledge will not show

Thou great and sacred Lord Of all
OF life the only spring.
Creator. Of unnumber'd worlds,
Immensely glorious king
Whose image shakes the staggering mind,
Beyond conception high
Crowr'd with omnipotence, and veil'd
With dark eternity.
Drive from the confines of my heart
Impenitence and pride,
Nor let me in erroneous paths
With thoughtless idiots glide.
Whate'er thy all discerning eye
Sees for thy creatures fit;

Contentedly submit
With humane pleasure let me view
The prosperous and the great
Malignant envy let me fly,
With odious self conceit.
Let not despair, nor curs'd revenge,
Be to my bosom known;
o give me tears for others wo
And patience for my own.
Feed me with necessary food,
ask not wealth nor fame;
But give me eyes to view thy works,
And sense to praise thy name
And when thy wisdom thinks it fit,
To shake my troubled mind,
Preserve my reason with my griet3,
And let me not rcpinc.
