a LOST DAY,
BY MRS. L. X. slooURSEv.

BY MRS. L. X. sIooURSEY.
Lost! Lost Lost!
A penn of countless price,
Cut from the living rock,
And graved 10 Paradis
Set round with three times eight
Large diamonds clear and bright,
And eight with sixty smaller ones,
All changcful as the light.
Lost where the rhoughtiess throng,
In fashions mazss wind,
Where thrillcth foliy's song,
Leaving a sting behind;
Yet 10 my hand twas given
A golden harp to buy;
Such as the while-robed choir attuns
TO deathless mins,!e!sy.
Los, Lost! Lost!
| feel all search is vain;
That gem of countless cost
Can ne'cr be mine ogain:
| offer no reward,
For till these hcarl-s!rines sever,
| know that heaven.enlrusted gsti
Is reft away forever.
But when the sea and land,
Like burning scroll have fled,
I'll see il in His hand
Who judgeth quick and dead;
And when Of seattle and loss
That man can ne'er repair,
The dread inquiry meets my soul,
What shall il answer there?
