LINES ON THE DEATH OF MRS ZANIZiNGER'
Farewell totbee blessed one meek spirit Of Heaven
Once lovely in bridal-now sainlea W lomo'-
Was partner or parent more srntle 9 eI R'eH
To hallow life,s blessings, or tighten It's gloom:
q, bright as the bud OF the parterre or bower,
Thoust gded through me- ai .,e use" "ea'
And marrrd its Projections and laid them all drear
mr. lies how endearing this stroke has bereft MS -
Vel when doatjnp on all of thy goodness and love,
How hard 10 believe that Thy spirit has left US,
And now batles in ETHEREAL gories above
And q! when thy last racking torments were over,
And in sable array, came the shrOuu ana tne pau,
Whn hut felt that thy spirit around there dih hover,
And breathed its benignant carcsses OIL all Z
Far away thou hast sone into angels kind keeping,
Thou,lt return la thy earthly enhralment more
Vel the tears which thy kindred silently weeping
shall long this affecting bereavement deplore.
And he, thy fororn one will lie cease 10 cherish
The trndeTest remembrance his heart ever knew:
No! fame, wealth, life, honor, sooner shall PERISH
Than his hallowed affections shall wander from you
And she, TOO, the beautiful. thus in her dawning,
To be torn from her lnother--how dismal's the tale
Who that heard can forget her terrible warning,
Shreking out upon midnight her cor0nacll wall?
There stand they above thee in emblems of sorrow;
Al the shrek Of the blast the sable pues wave
Threyc dim with weeping, glazed in wild horror,
TILL desolae loneliness, they flood thy green grave
o. if from thy radiant Eden Of GInry,
Thou can 81 look this eartspnt anguish and pain
Let them know thou arl there through Thy marvellous
story,
And tell them they II meet thee in Heaven again.
