LINES
Ba,.d upon tho brncg incident related by Mrs CHLp Of
wife who peremptorily refused to yield the apparently
lfele-s form OF her hcsbsnd 70 those who demanded
and finally succeeded in reaniH.u"gi. MS occurred
during the prevalence OF yellow ieve' IN SOs"h'
BRING out your dead in melancholy ro1ad,
The caous csrnsn bresihes that sulen SOUND;
And gallant youth, grsy-hairs and gentle grace
Half ptsi oft, will his rude bier embrace
Bring out your d.ad" that so like knell,
Has broken sorrows sSonizing spells
What hands spread imporingly abroad,
Entres,ins mercy both Of man and GOd'
Wife. Mother. Sister. oi these alone,
In others peril thus iorRets her
Devoted woman what butihy strong love,
Could cen DER pestilence triumphant prove.
bring out your dead!' oh, no! no! not my dead,
Fste's fearful sentence has vet been read.
Your senses play you Ialse-he only sleeps,
And will wake to laugh at her who weePs
Lilies horid element awhile has fled
Back o the Ita whence oil its currents sped.
The uuenr will rsly-and renew
The rose OF health sREasuaad by this cold dew
Or ifindeed that awful time come
That calls my husband To another bone,
What mortal force shall bitter gTle coIapei
In haste part from all II loves welii
No, il my prayers may avert his doom,
Be mine the privilege to share his tomb.
Ga with the Jesth-cSr-lesve me To my task,
One brief hai.hour more, s all ask.
Lives there d soul in natures boundary wide,
By whom sad coon would be denied
To other portals pass the sSsting wheels,
Fast by the corps the faithful cDnsort kneeis.
Spurning coniagion, she her breath spplirs
Between the lyId lps-whcse iaIniesi sghs
To her strained would sweeter music bring
Than all the woodland wsTblers of the spring.
But all 10 her, wintty aspect bears,
From the hearts stem, Hopes last Leaf disappears
-'Brng your dead" away, false tongue, away!
This chamber holds no victim to decay.
Glory 10 God without whose aid divine,
The widows desolation were NINE.
lie lives! he lives! with me iorerr To yield
Praise 20 the Lofj-Our refuge, rock and shield.
