MEMORIES or TIVE DEAD-W-by i il tha; with ,h-

That sunshine ether grass

That, formed from oui the very mould
In which the DEAD doth liz.
The daisy with its eye Of gold
Looks up into tho ky
But Of screncr summer Influences he yet spcaketh our
brother and our friend by whose last resting place we
have been standing in thought that brightest day OF
the years brightest monh, when ne made his bed in
darkness and closed his eyes forever upon the bright
ncss of the sun:
THE Springs gay promise melted into thee,
Far summer and thy gentle reign i here;
Thy emerald robes each spreading tree,
In the blie sky tiny voice Is rich and clear
And the free brooks have songs bless Thy reign
They leap i'll music 'md=; Thy bright domain.
The gales ,ha; wander from The unclouded West
Are burthcncd with the breath OF countless fields.
They teen with incense from the green eaTth breast,
That up to Heaven lis grateful odor yields
Fearing sNcc, hymns oi praise from many bird,
By Natures aspect into rapture stirred
In such scene the lin-illumincd hear:
Bounds like prisoner in his narrow cell,
When through s bars the morning giorics dart.
And foreSanihens in his hearing swell
And like the hetyns Of the yoicetJ sea
Ills painting bosom labors 10 be free.
Thus gazing on Thy void and sapphire sky
Oh summer in my inmOst soul arise
I'pifted thoughts 10 which TIE woods reply,
And the bland air. witt, liz soit melodies;
Til ba.kin. in visions glorious ray,
long for eagles plumcs to ice away
long 70 cast this crunbrcus clay aside,
And the impure, uuhoy thoughts that cling
To the sad bosom, torn with care and pride:
| would soar upward on unieitered wing
Far through the chambers Ui the peaceful skies.
Whcr, the high fouut OF Summers brightness lies.
