TO MY SISTER.

What askcth thoul ''Thc doleful line q"
An easy giit--tl,c flower is mine:
Such tissues from my heaft weave,
From ills that teach it still to grieve,
The soul of sadness guides my pen,
Even in the busy haunts ofmen:
Still TO the past my gaze ! turn,
To earliest loves funereal urn,
Where holy ashes Wondering lie,
Whose vanished light hath sought the sky;
While hope no beacon-iane can see,
And sad regrets remain for me,
To memory's iron realm confined,
With weary breast and sinking mind;
The charms that lifo was wont to wear
Have passed, like gay birds from the air,
When summer hours 10 autumn yield
The dying blossoms of the field.
Earth is not all a scene of light,
Its pictures cannot all be bright
And when these rccollections roll,
like heavy winters DER my soul,
The past, the present is with me,
And ssall my heart is memory"
I lose awhile the ardent fire,
The inclination TO aspire;
My firm resolves relax and i,
With quivoring lip and fearful eye,
Sonsae token OF that dream survey,
Which all in darkness passed away.
Then days and weeks to me arc nought
But lapses Of enduring thought
Which seek on fsncy's fairy share
The Joys that can be mine no more.
