"Another harp is broken, and the strains that
trembled upon its strings are now heard il Hea-

Another and another;
They arc going one by one:
The golden bowl is broken,
And life's silver thread is spun
In the perfect prime Of manhood,
With its glory On his brow,
And Fame's wreath upon his temples
But that is nothing nov!
For it cannot lift the veil that's drawn so slosely
DER his eyes,
Nor bereak the solmen, mystic seal, that on his
fine lip lies!
o chaste and sweetly beautiful
Were the breathings of thy Tyre,
For Genius. like a living coal,
Had touched thee with its fire:
The light shed from thy musings
Had lis birth place in thy mind,
Where all the finer faculties
Of Intellect were shrined.
o the World thy name is speaking-its lament
for thee is loud
But thou can'st not hear its praises through the
foldings Of the shroud.
Thou has put on the garments
Of the Redeemed in Heaven,
And the Harp wherein the Angels play
Hath TO thy hand been given:
For the Poets earthly laurel
For his bright but cold
Thou has won thine Immortality,
And wear'st a fadeless crown!
We will miss thy, sons o minstral! from the
