AN IMAGE.
Sounds of music in the palace,
Fes,al Lutte and Tyre,
Swelling in sudden triumph
Higher still and higher!
Sounds Of dancers, in their gladness
Bounding through the hall,
Sounds Of young, sweet, singing voices
While through all, through all,
Steals the inkling slve y murmur
OF the fountains fall
But that voice of exultation
Soon doth faint and die;
Risclh nov cry OF mourning
And fierce agony.
Der the mirth and DER the revel
Sinks The funeral pail;
And the funeral bell is lolling;
But through all, through all,
Steals the tinkling silvery mufmur
OF The fountains fall
So within the palace chambers
OF full many heart,
One thought ofentimes doth linScr,
And will not depart:
Grief may moan or sadness languisli,
Or bright JOY befal,-
That one thought is interviewer
Still through all, through all,
Like the tinkling, silvery inurmur
OF tie fountains fall.
