For the Phoenix.

The place Of the dead bath holy calm
To the grief-saught soul soothing balm:
There silence reigns for the voiceless crowd,
Nor weep, nor sigh, whom death has how'd:
There solitude reigns-but Oh, her tongue
More thrilling than human heart e'cr wrung
In tones that are feit--not heard-it falls
Aud startles the bands Of earthly thrall;
Ia language teit-not heard-responds
The soul from its depths Ger its treasures fond
But heavenly visions, Of changeless love,
And glorious lore in Heaven above,
Break through its sad and sorrowing strains
Ia music sweet as seraph's breath
When il leaves smile on the cheek of DEATH
In beauty brighter than rainbow hues
Faith is reflected from deaths cold dews,
And cheerfully beams on the Christians tomb
AS the sun shines out upon autumn's gloom.
