! saw her once-so freshly fair
That like a blossom Just unfolding,
She opened to LIES cloudless air,
And Nature joyed to view its moulding
Her smile IL haunts my memory vet
Her cheeks fine hue divinely glowing
Her rosebud mouth--her eyes Of Jet
Around in all their light bestowing
Oh who could look on such form,
So nobly free, so softly tender,
And darkly dream that earthly storm
Should dim such sweet, delicious splendor!
For in her men, and in her face,
And in her young steps fairy hghtness,
Naught could the raptured gazes trace
But Beautys glow, and pleasures brightness
/ saw her twice--an altered charm
But still of magic, richest, rarest,
Than girlhood s talisman less warm,
Though yet Of earthly sights the iairest
Upon her breast she held child
The very image of its mother
Which ever to her smiling smiled
They seemed to live but in each other -
But matron cares, or lurking wo,
Her thoughtless, snless look had banished
And from her cheek the roseate glow
OF girlhoods balmy morn had vanished
Within her eyes, upon her brow,
Lay something softer, fonder, deeper
As if in dreams some visioned wo
Had broke the Elysum of the sleeper.
| saw her hrice,-Fates dark decree
In widows garments had arrayed her,
Yet beautiful she seemed to be,
As even my reveres portrayed her;
The glow, the glance had passed away,
The sunshine, and the sparkling glitter
Still, though noted pale decay,
The retrospect was scarcely bitter;
For, in their place calmness dweIt,
Serene, subduing, soothing, holy,
In feeling which, the bosom felt
That every louder mirth is folly
A pensiveness, which is not grief,
A stllness-as of sunset streaming
fairy glow on flower and leaf.
Till earth looks like landscape dreaming.
A last time-and unmoved she lay.
Beyond Life s dim uncertain river,
glorious mould of fading clay,
From whence the spark had fled for ever
] gazed-my breast was like to burst
And as ] thought of years departed,
The years wherein saw her first,
When she, girl was tender hearted
And when ! unused on later days,
As moved she in her lnatron duty,
A happy mother, in the blaze
OF ripened hope, and sunny buty-
j felt the chilli turned aside
Bleak Desolation cloud came o er me,
And being seemed a troubled tide,
Whose wrecks in darkness swan before me

LAST MIGHT.

~S<Ao& &S&G4A&s
sat with one love last night,
] heard a sweet, an olden strain,
In other days it woke delight
Last night put pain.
Last night saw the stars arise,
But clouds soon dimmed the ether blue,
And when we sought each Others eyes,
Tears dimm d them too.
We paced along our favorite walk,
But paced in silence broken hearted
Ofold we used to smile and talk
Last night we parted.
Oh grief can give the blight of years,
The stony impress of the dead;
We looked farewell through binding tears,
And then Hope fled
