TINE SPIRITS LAND.

rs rnfENnsxrP ~crFgelN6 yoR 1891
A~Ths spirits Land!--where Is that land
OF which Que fathers teIR
On whose mysterious, vlewless strand
Eatth's parted millions dwell!
Beyond the bFigh, and starry sphere,
Crea,ion's flaming suace remote;
BsYoEd the uesureiess career,
The phantom Fight Of thought.
There, fadeiess flowers iheir blosssms wsvs
Beneath cloudless sky;
And there the latest, lna ring tear
Is wiped from every aYcs
And souls beneath the trees ri lie
Renose upoa that blessed shore,
Whsfe PAM and toll. aud storm. and strifs,
Shall never reach them more.
And yet, msthinks, chss' ened VIC
Zen there may prompt the sigh
sweet sorrsws We would not forego
For cslaD, unmingled joy,
Waen ssrsius from snge!-tsrps may stray
On heavenly airs, of mortal birth,
That we have hesrd fsrs far away,
Amid fbe bowers ct earth.
Ah! then, perchmce, their ss5deuing scsil.
Thstfrem oblivion saves,
May wander, like loru farewell.
From his DIM Ind of graves;
And, like 'he vision Of dreams
Shed on the dstmbodisd mind
OF mortal life dying CLEAN,
And loved ones left behind.
Yes--yes, VIII, must believe
That Natures sacred ties
CorvTes AMI 20 the spirit clesyes
Immortal in the skies;
And that imperfect were nay bliss
In heaven itself, and dashed with care,
II those l loved on earth should miss
The path that lea6eth there.
