THE MASTER HAND.
BY MRS. NORTON.

AND dost thou sav1ny heart IS cold,
Because thine eye cannot discover
(As round its jealous glance is rolled
On glittering crowds) one welcome lover
And dost thou think cannot love,
Because thy suit my lips reprove7
Oh, valueless the wind harps tone,
Which, swept by Summers careless breezeS'
Gives forth wild, uncertain moan,
As often as the zephyr pleases.
Who marks its faint and careless sigh
Once heard it hath no melody.
But when the stricken Tyre, which long
Hath hung upon the wall decavlng,
Breathes cut its soul Of love and song,
Obedient to the minstrel's playing,
And to It's masters touch alone
Responds with loud and plaintlve tone'-
Then, then the power of music breaks
The spell that bound our calmer feeling,
And every slumbering passion wakes
In answer to It's wild appealing;
It'll onr sworn hearts, too full for words,
Die trembling on those quiyerng chords.
Years bring no change. Even tho we stand
Where cold the minstrel's form is lying,
Fancy shall see that skiIlul hand
oIlCc luOlC oiiioiiS tiiN ." Wv "'.'-N 20
And music's floating notes shall come,
And mock the silence Of the tomb.
And many an hour and many a day,
Shall memory please herself by bringing
Small scattered fragments of the lay
That hung upon that wild harps ringing
Though Summer breeze caress IN VAN,
And souliess hands awake no strain.
Even so the heart, that, sad and cold,
Warns not beneath thy careless woolng,
Hath known loves power in days ofod,
And worshipped-to its own undomg,
And many a passion, quiet now,
iiath glowed upon my faded brow.
And still perchance the day may come,
When, from It's halls of silence taken,
That heart, in its deserted home,
To life and love and JOY shall waken.
It hath the music at command;
But thine is not the masters hand.
