The Life Clock.

rRANsLATED FROM TAE GERMAN.
There is little mystic clock,
No human eye hath seen;
That beateth on-and bea,eth on,
From morning until cen.
And when the soul is wrapped 10 sleep
And heareth not a sound,
Ii ticks ana iicks the live long night,
And never runneth down.
. wondrous is that work Of art
Which knels the passing hour.
But srt ne'er formed, nor mind conceived
The life clocks magic power.
Nor set in gold, nor decked with gems,
BY wealth and pride possessed;
But rich or poor, or high or low,
Each bears IL in his breast.
When life's deep stream, mid beds OF flowers,
AL suIl aud softly glides,
Like the wavelei's stePe with gentle beat,
IL warns Of passing tides.
When threatening darkness gathers DER,
And Hopes bright visions flee,
Like the sUllen stroke Of the muffled oar,
1t beateth heavily.
When passion nerve, the warriors arm
For deeds OF hate aud wrong,
Though needed not the fearful sound,
The knell is deep and strong.
When eyes to eyes are gazing soft
And tender words are spoken,
Then fast and Wild 1t rattles on,
A. It with love 'twere broken.
Such is the clock that measures life,
OF flesh and spirit blended,
And thus twill run within the breast,
Till this strange life is ended.
