THE
STOLEN gagAD,

YEA BY THOMAS BUCHANAN READ. -#1
"There's glory over the face of Youth
And Age as fair light displays,
When beautiful Love and spotless Truth
Have guided all her ways!
But Sin is a hideous thing to see;
His eyes are drlled before his prime,
And each year leaveth the mark of three,
For he hurries the hand of Time
Thus spake the awaiting Angel Death,
By way-side beggar-crone,
Who wrested with the reluctant breath
Ona pillow Of broken stone
IT was a fearful sight to see Her gasp,
: And clutch the air in her sinewy palms,
As if forcing from miser's grasp
The miserable aims!
But a sight to bring the tear drops down
Was the little maiden pale and thin
Who stood by her side in a tattered gown
Which let the sharp air in
Hatless and shoeless she stood in the rain,
And shivered like autumn's leaf,
Trembling with very hunger and pain,
And weeping with fear, not grief!
"What ais you, mother ~ the maiden cried,
sfWhat makes you tremble and stare?
Why do you look so angry-eyed t3
AS you strike the empty air.
81 fear you, mother! Your angry brow!
Your wild and piercing eye.
Oh, do not, do not hurt me now, f#
There is no one to see me cry.
-"Oh mother, why you beat me 500
And why do we walk all day.
And rest at night, if it rain or snow,
In cold, wet beds Of hays
ooh, why do the village children play
And seem SO very glad Ill
And why are they dressed so clean and gay
While am SO meanly clad?
"Donot their parents beat them too
q sTomake them moan and crys
4 Or are their mothers weaker than you,
And the children stronger than Il
4 tsI,ye seen the parents kiss and hold
\ Their little ones on the knee!
; !, mother, am well nigh ten years old, 1
s You never did so with me!
"Why am not as pretty and good
As the little girls in the town.
Are mine the meaner flesh and blood
Because ] am burnt so brown'
HAnd why do they 60 with happy looks
Up where the chapel stands,
Some with their little shining books
y And flowers in their hands!
4 sOh, mother, I wish you would take me there!
For often as we go by -f .
Their voices come through the happy air
J, As if from the open sky!
2,
"Oh, mother, wish could join the strain,
And learn their beautiful words;
/ am sure they do not sing for pain
No more than the little birds.
aYou know how once we followed them out
To the forest green and gay;
How they danced and sang a song about
The beautiful flowers Of May!
HOh, they seemed like band of angels, free
From hunger, pain, and strife;
As a lady once told me should be
4 81 If lived an honest life ! % D@ p
"Then wondered if we were to die that nigh
-, If we should be angels fair !!
But, mother, what makes your cheeks so whit,
Why, why do you SILVER and starei
aOh, mother, mother! you have often said
You'd kill me yet in some lonely place
III did not steal-and did not shed
More tear-streams down my face!

Where the Cat-blrd sings all day
aDown by the meadows long and wet
The willow-walks are made;
And now and then violet
Grows in the willows shade.
eThe dandelon and mullen bloom
By the glossy buttercups' bed;
And the thistle looks like soldiers plume
With its beautiful tip Of red!
sThe blackberries grow by the stony wall,
You may pick them as you pass
The strawberries too, but so scattered and small
You must huut them in the grass.
"All these along the highway shine;
And as ] see from here
The turnpike's long and winding line,
My heart sends up tear
t'For they were the only things to cheer
The long and weary mile
The only things for many year
That ever wore smile!
ooh, mother, in our idle hours
Wen wander down the glen,
And I'll show you some of the simple flowers
That smiled upon me then!
0Come, let us walk by the road and search,
There where the poplars stand;
That may carry some flowers to chnrch
Tomorrow in my hand
"Then, where the old woman is doomed to lie
In the mound so new and bare,
I'll slip aside, as we go by,
And quietly 10y them there.
$50 that if she is up in heaven,
Singing the angels pslams,
She may know that all has been forgiven
BY those beautiful bright aims!
@The good man told US, the other day,
We must forgive our foes!
And forgive her, though she, you say,
Was the mother Of my woes!
81 love to hear the church organ blow
When the people rise from their places!
And the children stand in shining row
And sing with happy faces!
stTheir sweet hymns make my heart rejoice
Like blue-brd in the spring;
But when try to raise my voice
Iweep; for cannot sing.
"Their strain has sweet and delicate tone;
But mine has none of such;
II seems more like the winds low moan
OF which have heard so much
"Then, since my voice will not join with theirs,
In my heart try to pray,
And whisper DER those little prayers
You taught me how to say!
"Say, mother, why did the preacher place
His dripping hsnd on the little chlld'
And did you mark its rosy face
How angel-like itsmiled'
nWhen was so very, very small,
Did you carry me up the aisle,
And when felt the waters fall,
Say, did weep or smile'
s'And then again in the afternoon
They brought another there,
The while the organs solemn tune,
Hung heavy on the air.
"But this one in its coffin lay,
While its mother sobbed aloud;
And its little hands were as cold as clay,
And its face was as white as its shroud.
"Then they slowly lowered it into the ground,
While the pebbles down after il slid;
And, mother, still can hear the sound
OF the gravel upon the lid
aAsleep or awake hear il fall
And tits grown to peaceful noise;
Itseems like loving angels call
And must obey the yoice!n
Thus spake the child--and the Sabbath calm
Brought the low organs sorrowful sound
And the great bell tolledits solemn psalm
As they laid her in the ground
