Few poems have receRtly proceeded from the
English press, which have received amOre profound
and earrest welcome than this elaborate elegiac
outpouripg Of friendship and grief. Il il seldom
that the lay of poet is 50 much in unison with
universal sentiment The relation OF Tennyson
with his lost friend, il is true, was OF high and
peculiar character; an instance Of 1--we between
man and man rare il any age, but especially In
these DAYS; love for the brother Of bis soul liter

is the apotheosis Of friendship; OF friendship
raised TO sphere 10 lofty, SO refined, and
go passionate, as almost 10 transcend the under
standiog, and certainly the sympathy OF by far the
ereatest norton Of readers. Blu. not on this ec'
count il the poem any the more foreign to the
emotions of general human experience. The grief,
which here guthes forth in songs Of exquisite
pathos. ia the came which every bereaVed heart
cbersbes for the loss OF the dearest ones, what.
ever the nature of the tie, by which they were
connected in a union OF living sympathy and ten
derpess. Hence, these melting lyrics OF rennyson
will breathe their spell OF soft enchantment over
MANY hearts On which has fallen the shadow of
the mvste1ious Destroyer. The parent, the wife,
tia brother. the lover, who have been touched
nv that wand which opens the deepest foun-
taips of our. nature, may here lind an ecno 70
