THE LIFE CLOCK.

TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN.
There is little mystic clock,
No human eye hath seen
That beateth on-and beateth on
From morning until cen.
And when the soul is wrapped in sleep,
And hear eth not sound,
1t ticks and ticks the livelong night,
And never runneth down.
o, wondrous is that work Of art
Which knells the passing hour;
But art neer formed nor mind conceived
The life clocks magic power.
Nor set in gold, nor deckcd with gems,
By wcnth and pride possessed
BY rich or poor, high or low,
Each bears it in his breast.
When lifrs deep stream. midst beds of flow'r
All still and softly glides,
Like the wavelet's with gentle beat,
1t warns OF passing tides.
When threat'ning darkness gathers DER,
And Hopes bright visions flee,
Like the sulen stroke of the muffled oar,
1t beateth heavily.
When passion nerves the warriors arm.
For deeds Of hate and wrong,
Though needed not. the fearful sound,
The knell is deep and strong.
When eyes to eyes are gnzing Oft,
And tender words are spoken,
Then fast and wild it rattles on,
As if with love 'twere broken.
Such is the clock that measures life,
Of flesh and spirit blended;
And thus twill run within the breast,
Till that strange life is ended
