THE TREES.

Like the latest lett of the battle'spears,
In their ancient strength they stand,
And they tell US still Of the sylvan years
When the forests filled the land;
Ere evera hunter tracked the wood,
Or mariner poughed the seas,
The isles were green in the solitude
Of their old primeval Trees.
They have survived the Druid's faith,
Aud the Roman eagles fall,
And the thrilling blast of the bugle's breath
From the Norlran's knigntly hall;
But the sun shines bright and the showers de-
scend,
And the wild birds home is made
Where the ancient giants still extend
The green of their summer shade
We have seen our early winters hang
Their pearls on each eaAess bough,
And greeted the buds ofhe waking Spring
With a joy we know not now;
For Life hath its winters cold and boar,
But their frosts can form no gem,
Aud the Spring may breathe on our hearts no
more,
But it still returns to them.
They are waving DER our hamlet roofs,
They are bending DER onr dead,
And the odors breathed from his native groves,
On the exile's heart may shed;
Like him who gazed on his country's palm,
BY the palace-circled Seine,
Till the Pagod rose in the wanderers dream,
And Gauges rolled again.
How sweet in our childhoods ear they spoke,
For we knew their voices well,
When far in our western hills they woke,
Of the coming Spring to tell;
But now they send us sadder sound,
On the winds of Autumn ewes.
For it murmurs of wisdom more profound,
But il tells of withered leaves.
OH such were the Dryad tones that rose
In the Grecian woods of old,
And the voice from the Indian wilderness
That the conquerer's fate foretold:
For many minstrel's dream had birth
In the sounds Of leaf and breeze,
And the early oracle of earth
Were the old complaining Trees!
