LIFE AND DEATH.
BY W. c. RICHARDS.

Our life is like ftful dream,
That passes, as the passing stream
Or like the colOrs Of the sky,
That fade and vanish suddenly;
Or like the crystal bells that swim,
Upon the breakers foamy brim:
Or like the hues, that desk the flower,
But perish with the morning hour.
Creeping-creeping- fast
Wrinkled age ereeps on at last!
All that's beautiful and gay
All that's bright must pass away
Not an angels arm can save
The wreck Of beauty in the grave!
But when this brain is Etilled and cold
No thought can stir the senseess mould,
No love can pain the aching side,
No fame excite the pulse OF pride,
No passion fan the fires again,
That once consumed the glowing brain;
But there in glorious state we lie,
In " cold Distinctions apathy"
While sun, and moon, and stars 90 by
In silence, as ifthey did know
The dead Of earth reposed below,
And they were charged to watch and weep,
The dews of fEleaVen above our sleep!
And wars may rack this jarring sphere,
And armies gather far and near,
And stormy drums may loudly beat,
And crushing squadrons form and meet,
And the thunder's wreck and the earthquake
shock
The ribbed and solid earth may rock
But the angry sky, or the trumpet's clang,
How loud so'er they ever rang,
Are lost on the cold, dull earth beneath,
Sosweet and sound is the sleep OF DEATH
