And z sd winds toss the forest leaves
All the bright summer day.
Old plsynstes bid me welcome
Amid your brother band
Give me the old sfecton-
The glowing grasp Of band

IN ITALY.
DEAR Lillian all wished 10 won
sit beneath ltsliss sun
Where olive orchards CLEAN and culver
Along the banks Of Amos river.
Through laurel leaves, the dim green light
Falls my forehead 40 write,
Ard the sweet chimes Of vesper, ringing,
Blend with the cOntadinss singing
Rich 10 the coil with Fsncy's gold
The stirring memories of old
Rise tbrongng in my haunted vision
And wake my spirits young ambition
But as the radiant sunsets close
Above Val dArDO's bowers Of rose.
Ny soul foTgets the olden glory
And deems our love desrer story.
Thy words in Memory. ear, outchime
The music Of the Tuscan rhyme;
Thou stsndest here-the gentle hearted
Amid the shades Of bards departed
Their gsrlsnds of immortal bay
see before thee fade away,
And turn from Petrsrchs passion glance
To my own desrer heart romsnces
sad is the opal glow that fires
The midnight of the cypress spires.
And cold the scented wind that closes
The hearts Of brigh, Etruscan roses
The fair Italian dream chased
A single thought of thee eiiaced;
For the true CLINE OF song and sun
Lies in the heart which mine hath won
The universal becomes master of the accidental
and traditional, aud he pours out his numbers IN
deep vein of sentiment which no associations but
those of the heart can awaken. The fables OF
Genius and the records of History may kindle the
Fancy and give activity to the Imagination, but
they cannot rouse the Passions, which must best
dispose the Illustrations of fancy and can alone
give vitality and attractive beauty to the fruits OF
a creative energy. Through ali his poems the pro
eressive influence ofthe inspirations which belong
to his country and bis age are more and more
apparent. and in the noble poem OF The Contln-
ents' he thus fifty recognizes in them the spirit
which should animate and characterize our
National Art.
O rsdisntbrowcd, the latest born Of Time
How waned thy sisters old
Before the splendors of thine eyes sublime
And men, erect and bold
Pure as the winds of thine own forests are
Thy brow beamed lofty cheer,
And Days bright ordsmme the Morning Star
Flashed on thy lifted spear
81 bear no weight" so rang thy jubisnt tones,
OF memories weird and vast
No crushing heritage OF iron thrones
BeGueAthed by some dead Past
But mighty hopes that learned to tower sno soar
From my cen peaks OF snow
Whose prophecies in wave and woodland roar,
When the free tempests blow
Like spectral lamps that burn before tomb,
The ancient lights expire
wave a torch. that floods the lessening gloom
With everlasting hre
Crowned with my consolidated stars, stand
Beside the fosming sea-
Aud from the Future, with a victors hand,
Claim empire for the Free j.
