AN EARLY GRAVE.

Oh tor an early grave!
| That might slumber in my beings morn,
| The last long sleep of death; ere sin shall bind
| Its letters round my soul, immortal born,
And send me through the world, in vain to find
One draught Of lfe's pure wave.
Iwould that might die
Before ambition tempted TO forget
That earth's high titles are but empty sound;
| And the bright gems in kingIy coronet
More worthless far, than tears that wet the ground,
Where friends weep silently.
would not live Till age
Has plnuehed my forehead, and my sinewy arm
Is palsed, and mine eve is dim and blear;
would not tarry here till youths high charm
Is broken, and my scattered locks are sere;
would not die sage.
For me no charm is lent
BY the rude clamor Of the trump Of fame.
Or the smooth tongue OF hollow Hattery;
1wonld not plunge life's stream to leave name,
For ages traced with titles vain and high,
On towering monument!
Oh! rather. by some wave,
In the calm silence OF The woodland shade
Where wild flowers spring, and the shril warblers
Their happy notes. be nv last mansion made
Oh! there, before I drink Earth's gall, be found
For me an early grave!
