For the National Era.
TO ONE MOURNING DEsERTON.
BY MISS ALICE CAREY.

Alone. what is it that we need sit down.,
An echo out of faded ruins struck,
With dreary means disturbing the sweet night,
What time the sadly crying whippoorwill
Pours her wild music, or when mornings star,
Faint and unsteady, lessons and goes out.
The still grave opened and closed up again
Der the white beauty Of my shrouded love,
And choking my hearts bleeding as might
With the thick dust Of darkness, went back
Into the sunshine, though my stumbling feet
0erturned the while the fallen urn Of hope,
Spreading the ashes on the passion flowers.
Then, lifting up my dumb, beseeching eyes,
prayed that sometimes from between the clouds
Forehcads from under crowns of asphodels
Might light my heavy footsteps from despair.
Like some stray lily in wilderness,
That pleading has been answered, all tonight
The golden claspiDg of the wings Of peace
Has been about me, and my heart has beat
To softer sounds than along the vales,
Where shepherds pipe lovc-dtties to the moon.
And if there yet be comfort for the lips
Whose kisses all are covered with the folds
Ut the close winding-shect, why makest thou
This sorrowful amonting' Lean more
To the dry dust that mocks thee but unwind
The shadow of the willow from thy head,
And with the winds that medicine lorn woe,
Flying like birds about thee; and the morn,
Filling thy bosom with her yellow hair,
Surely dream--a fancy-a chance within
Shall have no power to stay the utterance--
=" God, thou hast more than blessed me- Earth
wide,
And full of Paradisal beauty yet;
For, when the serpent lifted his black folds
From Eden's shadows angels came again.
While tears unholy wash thy grieved eyes,
Think, hell would not be empty of us now,
If half our prayers were answered. Think that Low
Was never love- that yields to change or death,
And hew not broken cisterns any more

MEMORY
Soft as rays of sunlight stealing
On the dying day;
Sweet as chimes of low bells peahng
When eve fades away;
Sad as winds at night that moan,
Through the heath Ger mountain lone.
Come the thoughts ofdays now gons
On manhood's memory.
As the sun beams from the Heaven
Hide at eve their light;
As the bells when fades the even
Peal not on the night;
As the night winds cease to sigh
When the rain falls from the sky,
Pass the thoughts of days gone by
From ages memory.
Yet the sunlight in the morning
Forth again shall break,
And the bells give sweet voiced warning
To the world to awake.
Soon the winds shall freshly breathe
Ger the mountains purple heath,
But the path is lost in Death
He hath no memory.
