POETRY.

,,e g~oIlow;ng Is a translation from an ancient
snani.h Poem, which, says the Edingburg
Rsv,ev il surpassed by nothing which we
are ACQUAINTED with in the Spanish language,
except the Odes of Luis de Deon.
~ let the soul its slumber break,
Arouse its senses and awake,
To see how soon
Life. with ITS glorious, ghdes away,
Aud the stern footsteps OF decay
Comes stealing on.
How pleasure, like the passing wind.
Blows By and caves us nought behind
But grief at last;
How still our present happiness
Seems, to the hayward fancy, less
Than what is past.
And while we eye the rolling tide,
Down which our flying minutes glide
Away so fast;
Let us the present hour employ.
And deem each future dream OF Joy
Already past.
Let no vain hope deceive tho mind
No happier let US hope to md
Tomorrow Than To-Day
Our golden dreams of yore were bright,
Like them the present shall delight
Like them decay.
Our lives like hastning streams must be,
That into one ungulhng sea
Are doomed to tall;
The sea OF death, whose waves roll on,
Ger king and kingdom, crown and throne,
And swallow all.
Alike the rive's loudly tide,
Alike the humble rvulets glide
To that sad wave;
Death levels poverty and pride,
And rich aud poor sleep side by side
Within the grave.
Our birth is but a starting place,
Life is the running OF the race,
And death the goal:
There all our steps at last are brought,
That path alone Of all unsought,
Is found OF ali.
Say, then, how poor and little worth,
Are all those gIlttering toys OF earth
That lure us here;
Dreams OF sleep that death must break,
Alas. before 1t bids us wake,
We disappear.
Long ear the damps ofdeath can blight.
The cheeks pure glow OF red and white
Hath passed away;
Youth smil'd and all was heavenly fair;
Age came, aud laid his finger there,
And where are theyt
Where is the strength that mocs'd decay;
The step that rose SO light and gay,
The hearts light tone!-
The strength is gone, the steps is low,
And Joy grows WEAKNESS and woe
When age comes OH.
