Had by the western portal of the city wall
There, sullenly. the dark and sluggish wave
OF 3 cheerless liae Of river, creeps:
And out from the flashing domes,
And waving garden, aud thick aboies
d The city's multitude. aad where the hot
sand,
Column in the edlying blasts-staRds
The lone shelter, where diseased.
And broken men. and they who,
IN The battles fury. Were stricken down.
Lay upon the couch Of pain.
The hot airs Of wide reach
OF desert plain, came in.
And with leaden weight lowered
On the lips Of the unquiet sufferers.
Silently, there glided bv-one
On whose c0untenance there vas smile
Oh surprising sweetness, and a look
Oh lofty resignation, OH He was the Herald
OF holy faith, and from morn
To evening shadows. amid the Lazaar
throng
u moaning men, sweetlv bore
The consultations OF religion
There were there proud hearts and stout,
That quailrd not. when poured
The iron hail OF battle, and pealed
The shock Of charging hosts but alb!
Death in the Laziar house OF strange land
With 40 familiar face, on which
The dying one may turn his glszing eye,
And calmly thus may sink 10 rest.
This was not the battles death. they oft,
In the clsng OF arms aud shoutings,
Had barred their breasts to meet;
Hark ! the voice of prayer is at the couch
OF one, on whom the chlls OF death
Are stealing, while yet the curls
@ fair youth are waving
Upon his brow. But yet around
That lip, where late the fresh life blood,
OF rosy youth had richly mantled,
There was seal of manly daring,
Nature doth not oft impress
On ore SO young. From where
The waters OF noble stream lave
The broad ,iers oil busy mart
From mot er's aud sisters arms
He had gone, TO WELD
The battles brand. But ere
His eager ear had drank
The war notes blast, or manly bosom
Swelied IN the battles rush-,he peslilence
ora deadly cline had grappled him
And he was dying
Far frightening, and darkening DER
As twilight comes apace,
Move The shadows OF the wild
Sierra peaks. cooling walt is rushing
From The mountain; and as il stirs
The sullen heats. DER plain and city,
Lille comes forth to meet it. Borne
Upon its light wings, from where
Ii al, IL
Oh sacred faith looms loltily,
Come sounds that toll to vespers
Worshippers in the Aztec lend.
There came, too, sounds of Martial note,
Speaking also TO those worshippers
or a conquerurs fag--that floats
From their city's ramparts.
Again that ministering one,
With beaming look that spoke
Ottrust in things beyond the life
OF men, stood by the couch, where
The dying youth was failing
In his early pilgrimage.
Aud as, into that duiing ear, he breathet
His gentle mlnistratlons, there came
To the dying volunteer, the silent hand
That beckoned him to rest.
The rich starlight of southern sky
Was upon the white shafts and slabs,
That rose DER the g.aves oil the clty's dead
As from the silent waste OF sands
Which spread beyond, The sound
OF coming feet broke
Upon The charnel stiffness. Aud where
Yon thickening hillocks, tell
OF these whom Christian men
From Christian land, have sent,
TO war and die, kind hands
Are gently laying down the lieess form
OF stranger youth. IL.
