owe iicth in his halls corpse.
While, mourning round his coffin, stand
Ihe wan and pallid Feelings, like
DIN spectres from the Shadow land
ms nose Is pinched, his lips arc blue,
His once round checks suulseu and thin,
And heavily sleep his clottcd locks
Along his yellow. waxen skin.
Poor Love, dea: Love-" the mourners say,
Poor Love, dear Love All, dreary day
That secth him in cold earth lie"
" He was merry wight" saith one;
" But fond Of mischief" salt h another;
And yet, despite his hayward ways"
Quoth Hope =" loved him like a brother.
He used to laugh and chat with me
And seemed to live upon my smiles,
Whilst was needless of his tricks
There was such magic in his wilcs
Poor Love, dear Love- the mourners say,
" He was too good lad to die, -
And then arose from every lip
"A wild and weird and wailing cry
"I never shall forgive myselr,"
Quoth HOPE, 1" that forsook the boy:
Had remained, those sightlcss eyes
Would now be lit with life and ioy'
Qooth Grief, " no sooner had you gone
Than down he come and sat with me-
crying and signing night and day,
very baby Mt my knee"
Poor Love, dear Love-" the mourners say,
twas wrong in Hope to leave the boyi
Had she renamed, this dreary day
Would be day of golden joy.''
Then spoke Despair, from "Grief he came
10 me, his eyes asape and wild
bore him in and cherished him,
But soon maniac grew the child;
And then took his quivering form
And on my bosom made his bed,
Nursing him with mothers love
Until he slumbcred with the dead"
Poor Love, dear Love-" the mourners saw
weary vigil was Dcspair's!
Hers was the mothers gentle watch,
And hers the mothers gentle care"
They screwed Loves coffin cover down
With many sigh and many tear
And placed him, heavily of heart,
Upon his plumcd, ebou bier,
And ranging them in double line,
(How did the plumes and weepcrs wave y
They bore him from his lonely home
And laid him in his silent grave.
The bell is tolled--the mass is DER
The prayers are sad-the service dome
And all are gone, save Hope, who weeps
BY Loves untimcy tomb alone
