TIE HEART.

The human heart mo mortal eye
Hath seen it's springs laid bnre;
A beauty and mystery
Is all that restelh there
In love, how silently twill brood
Ger feelings not confessed
a bird that feeds in solitude
The yonnglings Of It's nest.
Its Hate is like volcanic fire!
We reck not gifts wrath,
Till bursts the lava Of it's ire
Around our scorching path;
TIE friendship oh the blessed seeds
II strews in Times dark bowers
That spring thro' Misery's bitter weeds
To crown Lies cup with flowers!
The hearts Despair !--what smile
Portrays its gloom Alright
II is the Hell of Memory
Unutterable Night.
Its Holiness !! tree whose bloom
Eternity supplies,
And fiockiug TO whose branches come
The birds Of Paradise.
In every human change. the heart
Is but living Tyre,
Where each fierce passion plays its par,
Upon separate wire;
But harsh and wild the tones will be,
While passion round them clings,
II never bresthes true melody,
Till God has touched its strings.
