From the Southern Literary Messenger, January iS'l
TO HELEN IN HEAVEN.


Iknew thee not in chidhood's spring,
folded bud in beauty's bowers,
The brilliant leaves were blossomlng
When first saw the lovely flower.
And other flowers shone by thy side,
A bright bouquet Of sweet perfume
OF all thou vert the modest prlae,
The dewy rose in opening bloom.
The dewy rose and lily white,
Dear Helen. in thy soft, sweet cheek,
Were blending hues Of blushing light
And purity when thou didst speak;
And on thy placid brow 80 fair
Where genius sat enthroned the WHILE
The thought which played diyinely there
Mingled its sunlight with thy smile!
And oh the radiance of thine eye
That intellectual eye, whose beam
Shone beautifully soft and clear
As LIQUID star in lovely stream
That mirror of soul serene,
With feelings pure as aught ABOVE,
Where Quiet wit would flash It's sneen,
The sparkling glance OF life ana love
Fen old age oft would list to thee,
Forpetfiil of its wrinkled care,
Enraptured with the grace ana glee
And all our brilliant humor share;
While CLEANS Of wise and thrilling thought
Would startle e'er with dazzling light
Unconscious thou alone Of aught
Which Others deemed SC strangely bright!
saw thee thus midst Tallwood's shade:
One eve babe thee there adieu,
And wandered where the cedar mudo
Its grove, encircling from the view
The buried dead Of thine and mine
Each epitaph scanned, and wept-
Then thought who first of oil our line
Would sleep with her who last had slept!'
All! little deemed then that thoa
Whom had left in quiet mirth;
With rose bright cheek and radiant brow,
Would az soonest moulder in that earth
That Death should first enfold that form,
So lovely in it's gentle grace;
And give 10 wasting and the worm,
The beauty Of thy soul-iit face'
Yet thou art now forcrer gone!
Where sunlight fingers last at eve
And pilds the mountains brow al dawn,
There love must linger now and greve
Der buried hopes in beauty's tomb,
Der cherished memories sad OF thee
Till Heaven shall smile away the gloom
And show thine immortality!
All! tell mo- angel, should we sigh
That thou hast left world like this
While circling round the throne on nlsh
Fer beams thy spirit brightln oiissf
How could we call thee back againT
Dsar Helen WOO US now to thee,
Where pUrest raptures ever reign,
Radiant throughout eternity!
Oh beautiful as the holy star
Ofevening, with its eye Of light
Still looking tenderly afar
Der thy young grave through fearful night'
viii ever glow thine image dear
Der each fond bosoms buried love,
While memory weeps all sadly here,
And Hope points brightly far above
,mond, December, 1850.
