THE RETURN OF YOUTH.
Ey WILLIAM &. BRYANT.

My friend, thou sorrowest for thy golden prime,
For thy fair youthful years too swirl CT Fight
Thou museSt, with wet eyes, upon the time
OF cheerful hopes that filed the world with light,
Years when thy heart WAS bold, Thy hand stroug,
And prompt thy tongue the generous thought to speak,
And willing faith was thine, and scorn of wrong
Summoned the sudden crimson to thy check
Thou lookest forward on the coming days,
Shudderng ,ote their shadow Ger the creep;
A path, thick set with changes and decays,
Slopes downward to the place Of common sleeps
Aud they who walk with thee in liit's first stuee,
Leave one by one thy sdc and, waiting near,
Thou seest the sud companions of thy age
Pull love OF rest, ana wearncss and fear.
Yet grievo thou not, nor think hy youth is gone,
Nor deem that glorious e're could die.
Thy pleasant. youth, little while withdrawn,
Waits on the horizon of brehtcrsky;
Waits, like the that folds her wing and hides,
TIL the slow stars bring back her dawnirs hour
Waits, like the vanquishcd spring that slnmbens bde
Her own sweet time to wakcn bud and flower
There shall he welcome thee, when thou shalt stand
On his brsht morning hills, with smiles more sweet,
Than when at frs, he took the by the hand,
Through the fair earth to lead thy tender feet
lie shall bring back, but brighter broader still.
Lilies early glory to thine eyes again,
shau clorhc thy spirit with new strength md Ill
Thy leaping heart with warmer love than then,
Hast thou no, glimpscs in the twilight here,
OF mountains where immortal mora prevails
Comes there not, through the silence 10 lhIhe car
A gentle murmur OF the morning gales,
That sweep the ambroSul groves ii that bright shore
And thence the fragrance Of it, blossoms, bear,
And voices of the loved ones gone before,
More musical in that celestial air.
