Dread River! On thy fatal shore
stood and gazed with awe-struck sight,
w lille visions passed my eyes before
Dark as the depths Of deepest night.
gazed, as came joyous band,
And thoughtlcss drank with youthful gee;
With notes Of praise they filed the strand
Each echo Knocked their reyelry.
Again gazed--and onward came
The sefsame band, with earnest speed;
And long they drank that food of flame
But waking, cursed the maddening deed
! looked again--but oh how changed!
That band with feeble step drew nigh,
And long upon the bank they ranged
While frenzy glazed each haggard eye!
Then headlong plunged into the stream,
And long saw them struggle there.
And oh the horrors of that dream
They sank at last in dark despair
Troop after troop came following fast;
AT first they slipped then deeply drank
But plunged within the flood at last,
And in the gulf forever sank
And there the lonely widow stood,
And there the orphan child beside
While signs disturbed the fatal flood,
And salt tears swelled the blackened tide
passed the stream and stood beyond
Myriads of fallen men saw,
Who cnrsed the fend that led them bound,
And sank them in eternal VOL

Fling out our flag from the gallant mast,
Let the shout of the crew be heard,
While the barqne that we ride, is flying fast,
Ger the sea- like mountain bird
Let it rest on the breast of the glorious sun,
When the sky grows calm at noon
And on let it float. when the day is done,
In the sheen of the sivery moon!
For it breathes charm in that tender light
Through the skyWard sailors eye
While he looks on Peace she nestles bright
Mid the stars and stripes on high
1t speaks to the heart of his mountain home,
Where in quiet it long shall wave,
And knows that his sons are free if they ROAM
If dead, in a freemans grave!
Let it stray through the night on that lofty apre
And talk with the midnight star 49,.
For the heavens will glow with a warmer fire.
To gaze on its face atar-
They will hail its lights as kindred all,
Long sent from the parent sky,
To laugh in scorn Ger the Tyrant's tall
Aud beam where the Tyrants die.
Let it float, till the Tart great day Of Time.
And proud, DER falling world,
Far up in its own congenial cline.
Triumphant hang unfurled-
And when this fair earth shall no more be given
For the home of its stars so bright,
May they turn in love to their native heaven
And dwell in eternal light!

MY LOVE-.
BY CoLERIDGE.

by COLEhIDGE.
Aid lovely Fancy aid the poets dream,
With fairy wand; 0 bid the maid arise,
Chaste Joyance dancing in her bright blue eyes,
As erst when from the Muses. calm abode
came, with Learning's need not unbestow'd;
When, as she twined laurel round my brow,
And met my kiss and half returnd my vsw,
Ger all my frame shot my thrill'd heart,
And every nerve confessed the electric dart.
Spirit of Love we heard her name obey
Ihe powerful spell, and to my haunt repair,
WI, Whether on clustering plnions ye are there,
Where rich SHOWS blossom on myrtle trees,
" WIN iond languishment around my fair
Sigh IN the loose luxuriance of her hair;
heed the spell, and hther wing your way,
Like iar-off music voyaging the breeze.
Spirits to you the infant Maid was given,
Found by the wondrous alchemy of heaven;
No farer maid does Loves wide empire know
No fairer maid e'er heaved the bosoin's snow
thousand loves around her forehead fly
A thousand loves sit melting in her eye
Love lights her smile-in joys red nectar dips
His myrtle flower, and plants it on her lips.
She speaks and bark, that passion .warbed song:
Still fancy! still that voice those notes prolong,
AS sweet as when that voice with rapturous falls
Shall wake the softend echoes of heavens halls.
o. (have sigh'd,) were mine the wizards rod,
Or mine the power of Proteus, changeful god
flower enlangled arbor would seem
10 shield my love from noontide's sulry beam,
Or bloom myrtle, from whose odorous boughs
NY love might weave gay sarlands for her brows.
! When twilight stole across the fading vale,
I Q fan my love, ia be the evening gale;
Nj, 'urn in the soft folds of her swelling vest,
An, I fntter my faint pinions on her breast
On Graph wind I'd float dream by night,
To so othe my love with shadows of delight;
Oe soa alolt to be the spangled skies.
And ga ze upon her with thousand eyes.
