A wish for that calm solemn phantom land
My song Is swelling, now. now lO"ly stealing.
Like Eol's harp, by varying breeZes famed,
Tears follow tears. my weaknesses revealing,
And silent shudders show heart unnamed:
Dull forms OF daily life before me flee,

MUSIC.


Sweet voice of music! have own'd thy power
In the wild breeze, and in the waters roar:
| And have loved thee at the twilight hour'
When distant vespers died along the shore'
| Oft have listened to the soothing STRAIN
Till hope returned, and lie seemed young again.
And | have loved thee in the festive bower,
When the light step scarce echoed TO thy souha
When beauty smiled, and bright eyes iei' u'e'r
power
The dance is done-the music Is forsot,
And they who vowed to love, remember not
Great is thy power, oh music! o'er the soul
That slckens with despair. or hoPe'esness'
And shrinks within itself Thou canst control
The breaking heart, and make ITS sun rings
less:
,Tis thine to raise the mind to heaven in prayer,
While man, enduring, murmers ''f7'pe @Me'e''
The following are Goethe's Introductory stan
zas. and beautiful and very affecting stanzas they
are.
Again, fair images, We nutter near,
As erst We shone to cheer the mourner's eye,
And NAV hope that We will linger here?
Will my heart leap as in the days gone bys
Yet throns before my view, dsnely clear,
Like sun beams conquering cloudy sky!
Beneath your Iightuins-s lance ny spirit burns,
Magic is breathins-youh and joy returns!
What forms rise beautiful of happy yests,
What lovely shadows float before me last!
Like an old song still tingiing in the ears,
hear the voice of loves and Friendships past;-
Renewed each sorrow and each joy appesfs
That marked life's changing labyrinthine waste;
The friends return, who past in youth away,
Cheated, alas! of half lite's little day!
But all! they cannot hear my closing song,

stronger claims upon our friendly offices and at

The above lucubrations have been suggested
by the following extract from private letter,
