POETRY.


A week or two since, we copied few stan
zss from an unfinished poem, and now Law be
fore our readers, two or three others, from tn
same work. If the whole poem SO richl.
abounds with poetry as the stanzas we nov
publish, we hope the author will finish hi
=" Unfnished PoeD,," as soon as possible.
AT length that barque is seen no more,
And that still group away have past;
And only one upon the shore
Lngors, the saddest and the last,
Gazing, in mournful reyerie,
Upon the waste of sky and sea;
Of form and face So passing far.
That well might classic dreamer swear
Some banished sea-nymph sorroSiag bent
Above her own green element;
And tha, the light shade Of her tresses,
Her sweet blue eye, and brow more white
Than flowers with which the forest dresses
Its lakes when summer heaven is bright,
We're only for those crystal caves,
Where never airs of earth embrown
The virgin bloom, and through the waves
All soiiened comes the sunlight down.
Yet pale the beauty of her cheek,
And sorrows sign is IN her eyes
Tha; branching VEN, whose crimson streak
Around The luclu azure lies.
What dost thou, pensive maiden, there'
The keen north wind IL IN thy hair,
I he SAL that fixed thy streaming eye
j. vanished from the distant sky;
Thy fathers cheerful hearth-fire, piled
With faggo,s from the wintry Wild,
Were l.tior place for maid like thee
Than the bleak borders of the sea.
Alas! for her no fathers hearth
Is blazing with the forests spoil,
And she "ho gave that maiden birth,
Has leff this world Of tears and tol.
Both in the woodland desert died,
Far from their own dear native sky,
Aad in their narrow beds, beside
The vast original forest lie;
Where one alone resorts TO weep,
And only one fir pious hand
Strews, with the Spring, above their sleep,
The unnamed wilJ-iloHers Of the land;
And sometimes at the shut of day,
Or when the breaking dawn ia grey,
Or the moon fills, the mn den there
Eneels sobbing, and prefers her prayer,
There first Young Howard saw the maid,
And while, unnotced and apart,
He marked the pious rite she pad,
Her pensive beauty took his heart.
And they have mingled VOWS Of truth,
Aud she is pledged TO be his bride,
Ard gives 20 the devoted youth
The love she bore TO those who died.
But he is with the crew AT sci,
Gone where the wide deep waters roar;
The gravest youth on board is he,
And she the saddcst mad on shore.

The following stanzas, which arc so true

Those who have parted with an infant chill
,ah best aprreciate their merits.
TO A DYING INFANT.
Sleep, little baby! sleep!
Not in thy cradle bed,
Not on thy mothers breast
Henceforth shall be thy rest,
But with the quiet dead.
Yes with the quiet dead,
Baby, thy rest shall be.
Oh! many weary wight,
Wcary of life and light,
Would fain lie down with thee.
Flee, little tender nursliDg!
Flee 10 thy grassy nest;
There he first flowers shall blow,
The first pure flake of snow
Snail fail upon thy breast.
Peace. peace! the little bosom
Llbours with short 'ning breath
Peace! peace! that trelaulcus sigh
Speak. his departure nigh
Those are the damps Of death.
I've seen thee in thy beauty,
A thing all health and glee;
But never then vert thou
So beautiful, as now,
Baby! thou seem'st to me.
Thine W .tmn'd eyes glazed over,
Like hare-bclls wet with dew;
Already vcil'd and hid
BY the convulsed lid,
Their pupils darkly blue.
Thy little mouth half open
The soft lip quivering,
As f Oike summer air
Rualng q the rose leaves) there
Thy soul were fluttering.
Mount up, immortal essence,
Young spirit. haste, depart
And is this death dread Thing!
II such thy visiting.
How beautiful thou art!
Oh! could gaze for ever
Upon that waxen face;
So passionlcss! so pure!
The little shrine was sure
An Angels dwelling place.
Thou weepest, childless Mother!
Az, weep-'twill ease thine heart
lie was thy 6rst-born Son,
Thy FIRST, thine only one,
IT'S hard from him to part!
IT'S hard to lay thy darling
Deep in the damp cold earth
His empty crib to see,
His silent nursery,
Once gladsome with his mirlh.
To meet again in slumbsr
His small mouths rosy kiss;
Then, w.ken'd with a start
By thine own thtobbing heart,
His twining arms to miss
To fesl (haif conscious why)
- A dull, heart-sinking weight,

Flashes the painful whole,
That thou art desolatei
