 "Methinks see him,
 Spreading wide abroad his mighty wing.
 Floating forever OCT the sons Of men,
 Like huge vulture with his prey beneath" said unto Time, as unused on the past, Oh, why art thou bearing us onward so fast; For while "day unto day utters language. and night knowledge, thou thy flight; As onward thou pressest nought empts thee to stay, And thou wrtest all things, "Ye are passing away" We hear not the rush ofthy wings; like a river, . Thy course is still onward, unceasng, forever; Thou takest the wings ofthe morning." and vain Are the wishes ofman thy swift flight to restrain: Thou touchest the torreut-its fountains are dry, And the sandsin its bed arc laidbare to the eye. The monarch sate proud on his jewelgirt throne, He heard not thy ster, thou didst pass-he is gone The temple which cost years ofl labor to raise, Thou hast breathd on, wo look, but in van for its
 place:
 Man built him proud cities to grace his dopans.. And tair palaces rear'd hills, valleys and plains, Thou hast passd OCT them all with the shade of thy -" wings, -zs And they are lowin tho dsst ssi their princes and
 kings ;-4-

 ITO """"+. have drank q draft from the liquid eye, That hath turned my breath to heightened sigh I have heard from thy lip, sweet tones of mirth, That have robbed of its melody, this fair earth: For thine eye of love, and thy voice of song, To one of better world belong. And tell thee now, as told thee before, Thy spirit was nurtured on heavens bright shore That it flew to earth, where its wings had grown. And hath chosen thine eye for it's glorious throne; And that, lady fair, is the reason why. T is such heaven to gaze at thy glorious eye. But thy heart is syrant heart. 'tis plain; .. Tho thou know st not .hcq hest wreath chain; Aud wear it ever upon my heafe; But love it SO, thnt would nos part With single link, for diamond band That was woven by other than thine own hand. And queen of tho bright eye. now Ipray! Use gently thy glances, or thou wilt sIay The peace of the stout hearts, whose eagle gaze, Is bent on thine eye in its melting blaze: And yet it were better to loose for thee All peace, than thy glances ne'er to see. ..
