From tie Baltimore Patriot
" IN TER.

The hcrbago sere, the witIercd, falling leaf,
The dreary landscape round the fOw'rless glade;
The bleak and barren hiil,-hesPeaA the grief
In which the SEASON hath all nature laid.
No more the mock birds initiative song,
In tones of sweetness exquisite. and gay,
alures the minstrel verdunt groves along,
tn hear from nature, nature 5 sweetest lay.
Throughout the landscape all, the h the vale,
The hollow winds, with nlela ncholy tone,
The woodlands axe, the thrasher's distant hail,
Supply the echo with its notes, alone
How bcauteous late, each little how'rct grew;
Each shrub. in verfuIe clad. put forth flowers,
Enriching, witt variety Of hue,
Aud ffagr2nt airs, the valley and its bowers"
But how changed! All desolatinn-alI!
rhc stately oak proud majesty is gone;-
As goes the monarch, toiteIing to his fall,
Nhene er the veStuTeS taken from his throne.
The scene around how like the dreary waste,
The chilly airs, pcrvadng sorrows soul!
Each pleasure vestige here is quite efaced,
And there chill glooms assume supreme control.
Blu: dreary r,nter lasts not ali the year.
Nor clouds peryadc the circling seasons through;
Nor " i'll The hidden testnes make drear,
Sad, sorowing soul, the year of life to you.
Tor natyrr's sun will soon again arise,
And take the Zenith for his radiant throne;
Breathe ON aud rrnovate the earth and skies,
with lowers and raubows smiling through the zone
Shall sorrow, then, smiling sprins-time sec.
No respite feel from mental winters reign
Shall no's'icts never bloom, moCk-brds .cc
Charm the dredr soul, in sorrows breast again?
1t must, they shall! Desponding soul arise!
The Spring returns more beauteous from the blast;
And joys again shall glad thy weeping eyes,
As flowers do Nature, when the winters's past.

And bIeaihcd Il iervent prayer;
Twas balm to his soul, and he rose again,
With IA strengthened spirit, but started, when
lie marked a stranger there!
He was tall, this stranger who gazed on him,
Wrapped high in sable shroud;
Ills cheek pale and his eye dim.
And the meludst trembled i'm every limb,
The while his heart beat loud.
"Niozart!-,herc is one whose GRAND bear,

The stranger bowed, yet no word replied,
But fed like the shade mouuta in s side.
When the sunlight hides its ray.
Mozart grew pale, when the vision fed,
And his heart beat high with fear;
He knew it was messenger sent from the dead,

In the dark, chill sepulchre
Hc knew that the days of his life were told,
And his breast grew faint within;
The blood through his bosom crept slowly and cold
And his lamp of life could barely hold
The flame that was Pickering.
Yet he went to his task with u cheerful zeal,
While his day and nights one;

With the holy prayer-"Oh God! feel,

He seized on his loved who cherished him well,
And weepingly hung or him:

The coll moon waned-on that cheeress day,
The stranger appeared more;
Mozart had finished his Requiem lay,
But e'sr the last notes had died away,
His epilii had gone before.
