A DREAM OF NJ u S G.

BY MISS II. F. GOULD.
I dreamed a bright angel so near me was singing
NV spirit seemed resting at last, at the goal;
The deep going strains through my bosom were
bringing
The pure oil ofjoy to pour over my soul
So sweet, so enhancing the spell that had bound me-
The Iudeness of earth melted off by its power;
The air OF an Eden seemed waiting around me,
The scent Of the fruit, and the spice ofthe flower
The voice 10 my breast new emotions revealing,
Had ued every dsspnant heart-strng TO peace,
It's wounds were all touched with the JUNCTION Of
healing,
And darkness fading, in glory TO cease.
So holy the rapture, so blissful the dreaming,
felt that my eye never after could weep;
Yet fain had l wept, when the morn with her
beaming
Too soon round my pillow, had broken my sleep!
NV angel departed with slumbeI in flying,
The music was lost-it wilbess me no more,
For earth seemed defied by the last note in dying,
To breathe it again, or its power to restore.
NY spirit must listen and sigh for it ever,
As through the dark desert pilgrim roam,
But once heard below to invite mo, il
Repeats the sweet rall-'twns song Of my home!

One trophy of all that his hand had gained,
