IF THAT HIGH WORLD.-Byru,

If that high world. which lies beyond
Our own, surviving love endears;
IF there the cheri>h'd heart be fond,
The eve the same except in tears
How welcome those untrodden spheres!
How sweet this very hour to die!
To soar from earth, and find all fears
lost in thy sight-Eternity!
II must be so: Z is not for self
That we SO tYemble on the brink.
And striving to o'erleap the golf,
Yet cling to beings severing link.
Oh! in that future let US think
To hold each heart the heart that shares.
With them the immortal waters drink,
And soul in soul grow deathless theirs!
