BARRY CORNWALL
bride. upon thy msIriaEc.iay,
when thy gems III rici, array
Made The glistening mirror ssew
AS n STRENGTHENING stream;
When the clustering pearls lay far
Midst Thy braids Of sunty bail;
And the white veil Der thee streaming:
Like silvcry halo cleaning,
yellow d all that ponp a,- li.ht
Into something mcekly bright:
Did the fu,tcriug of thy breath,
speak of Joy or woe beneath
And the hue that went ard came
Ger thy check, like waverns flame,
tiowd that crimson from tn unrest,
Or The giaducSs Of thy breast.
WHO shall tell uS-fIum thy boyer
brightly didst thou pass that hour,
w 18th the many Glancins oar,
Aud the cheer along the shore,
Aud The wealth of sUmmeT-nowCTS
On thy fair head cast in showers,
And the breath of song and futrs
Aud the clarion's glad salute,
Swiftly DER the Adrian tide
Vert thou borne in pomp, young Bride
Mlrth and Tusc, Sun and sky,
Welcomed thee iriumphantly.
Yet psfchanCe u Christening thought
IN some deeper spirit wrought,
Whispering, untold il bleut
With the sounds Of merrincut,
---"From the Home of Childhoods g,sp,
From the Days of Laughter free,
From the Love nf many Years,
Thou art gone &c cares and fears,
10 arnthcr path and guide,
30 busOm yet Uut,icL!
Fright onc OH. there we'll NAV Ec
Trembling midst our 10Y for thee"
Bride! when through the stately zane.
Ciroed with thy nuptial train,
Midst the banners hung on high
By thy war,ike ancestry,
Midst thy mighty fathers deaf,
IN sof, beauty thon vert led;
When before the shrine thy fotm
T9uiverc,i 10 some bosom storm,
Whcu like harp strings with si.h
breaking in miA-harrnouv,
On thy lip the murn,urS !o,y
lied with Loves unfinished vow
When, ike scattered rose Ieavcs ie
From thy check ach tint fred;
An3 the light forsOok thine eve,
And thy head sank heavily;
WAS that dropping but III excess
Oh thy spirits biessedness?
ordri some deep feelings might.
Folded IN thy heart from sight,
with sudden tempest showed
Ear,hward hear thy life youug Hows.;
Who shall tell us: on that tongue
Silence and forever hung.
Ncves TO thy lip and cheek
RuShh again the crimson streak
Never tn,thfne eye returned
That which there had bea MD aui s,q,rr,,r
With the secret nOne might know,
Win thy rapture or thy woe,
W!th thy marriage robe and wreath
Thou wcrt fed-young Bride Of Death
One, one lightning nome ut there.
Suntk down Triumph to Despair,
t-"uuty, SPien3our, Hope and Trust,
INTO Darkness, Terror Dust.
There were SQUADS of weeping DER t!.cE,
h'.!e. as forth thy kindr5i hure thee,
Saroaded in thy cleaning veil,
ISeat to that wild funeral wall
y etperchanCe 4 Christening thou2N,
IN some deeper spiri; wrought,
whispering, while the stern sad iue,.
On The airs bright stiffness fell,
-"l'rorn tie power Of chill and cliargc.
Souls to sever and estrargc;
From Loves vane-a death in III.
But to watch mortal strife;
From, the secret fryers, known
To the burdenh hear. alone:
ltuu art Ged-afar-away,
Where those b'iEhts 40 more have Sway!
Bright oHc oh, there we'll may be
