rive commend these lines TO the attentive persual of
aders. They are exceedingly bcautifu:l
Tickl tick how swift the seconds fly,
Speeding by:
With some soul Of mortal fated,
With some solemn secret frcighted,
Related
To men that calm and sleeping lie.
Tick, tick! In its remorseess flight.
Through the night
The minute hand keeps moving round;
Discourslng its solemn sound
OF mound,
The Sexton builds by still moonlight.
Tick! tick! some lone watchers hear;
And the tear
From that strong agony of woe,
Which those who sleep can never know,
Quenchess flow
For the calm, cold dead sleeping near.
Tick! tick! discordant music singing,
Now minghng
HE wailing notes of those who weep
With shouts of those who vigils keep,
Drinking deep
From the ruby wine cup ringing.
Tick! tick those sounds strange faneiss take;
Phantoms wake
As by some magician's wand,
Faces peer from shadowy land,
A long band
OF hours misspent their places take.
Tick! tick, they stern and grimly frown,
Pointing down:
Some TO the records of wild mrth
And the unhallowed love of EARTH
And the dearth
OF good seed we'll and fifty sown.
Tick! tick! those frowning ghosts appear,
Standing near;
Like Judges 10 all mercy deaf
They give warning life is brief
And that grief
And holy zeal becomes US here.

WINTER EVENING REFLECTION

WINTER EVENING REFLECTIONS,
The dead leaves strcw the forest walks,
And withered are the pale wild tiowers
The frost hangs glistening on the stalks,
The dew-d drops fall in frozen showers.
Gone are the Springs green sprouting bowers,
Gone summers rich and mantling vine
And Autumns fresh and yellow flowers,
On hill and plain no longer shine.
heard clear and wild toned note,
That rose and swelied from yonder tree,
CAV bird with mellow throat,
There perched and raised her song 10 me.
But Winter comes and where Is she?
Away--where summer winds still rove,
Where leaves are fresh, and every tree
Is vocal with the songs of love.
All mild beneath summer sky,
And fresh the flower that bushes there;
Should northern breezes rustic by,
Too rude their blasts for bloom 30 fair.
: No fcrest-tree stands naked there,
No stream beneath the ice is dead,
No mountain top, with sleety hair,
Bends DER the snow its reverend head.
Go then, with all the birds, and seek
A happier cline. With liveer flight
From sunny bowers the evening greet,
And leave me lonely with the night
I'll gaze upon the cold north light,
Behold where all its glories shine;
See that ii all is fair and bright,
Feel all it's cold, but not repine
Repine no and why should
Soon thai sweet bird and spring will come:
If not to me, beyond the sky,
Than thine, hope happier home.
