For the R. I. Republican.
LAMENT OF. THE BLIGHTED ONE.
Oh,'why can not the heart grow old
Since life hath lost its buoyant SPRING
And vanished years the tale have told
Ofjoys that can not bloom again.
Why is this blighted bosom torn
With passions yorth-besetting throngl
Where are the brilliant skies of morn?
They smile not on my evening song.
And must love, and fear, and hate,
Like those whose blood is dancing high
Prometheus like to feel the fate
Ofknawing passions-and not die Z
Lifc's early roses all have fed
That wreathed their fragrance round my brow
But ah I; their thorns have pierced my head,
And in my brain feel them now.
Love touched me with gentle fame
That purified and blest my soul;
This stormy sea is this the same?
Whose fiery billows round me roll.
Hope breathed her batteries in my ear;
Raptured drank her angel strain,
But now Despair is muttering near,
In thunder muttering Hope is vain"
Then why can not the heart grow old
Since life hath lost its buoyant spring,
And vanished years the tale have told
Ofjoys that ne'er shall bloom again.
FELIclAHo.

g. Shadows and clouds are DER me,
Thou art not here, my bride;
The billows dash before me,
Which bear me from thy side.
On lowering waves benighted,
Dim sets the weary day;
Thou art not here, my plighted,
To smile the storm away"
Where nylophs of Ocean slumber,
strike the measur'd staye;
With wild and mournful number,
To charm the wandering wave.
Hark TO the words Of sorrow
Along the fading main
'Tis night-but will the morrow
Restore that smile again ~
"'Mid curtain'd dreams descending,
Thy gentle form ] trace;
Dimly with shadows blending,
gaze upon thy face;
Thy voice comes DER me gladly,
Thy hand is on my brow:
wake--the wave roars madly,
Beneath the plunging prov.
Speed on thou.surging billow,
Der ocean speed away
And bear unto her pillow
The burden of my lay.
Invest her vision brightly,
With PASSIONS murmured word,
And bid her bless him nightly
Him of the Lutte and sword.
And her of dreams unclouded,
With tongue of lspins tale;
Whose eye | left soft shrouded,
Meath slumber's misty veil;
When morn at length dscloses
The smile may not see,
Bear to her cheek of roses
A Fathers kiss for me-
