DAILY EVENING STAR.
WILLIE BELL.

Down in wonder shadowed valley
Where the death tides waters roll,
Where huge phantoms ever daily
With the fleeting, faiRting soul
Where the hymn OF death Is waking
Tn the gloom with measur'd swell
Thuher went, out heart strings breaking,
Little, loving Willie Bell.
All the spring time played he gladly,
With the sunbeams from the sky
In the summer watched he sadly
All the spring how'rs fade and die;
And he WANDERED by the brook side,
Where the gushing waters fell
Where the angels sang at night-ude
Music low 10 Willie Bell.
But when summer blossoms faded,
, And the autumn leaves few by
When the gentle buds were shaded
BY the snow wreaths from on hgh:
Then voice came down from Heaven,
Like the waves in winding shell,
And an angel crown was given,
To the brow of Willie Bell.
Folded then his hands Of whiteness,
Ger the marble, hfelrss breast;
while sweet strains from harps of brightness
welcomed him to heavenly rest;
And the eyes of blue were closing
O'er the cheek where deaih-damps fell,
While in dreamless sleep repOsing,
Was the farm of Willie Bell.
Down within the grassy meadow,
Down within the silent vale,
Where at even comes the shadow
OF the moonbeams, still and pale;
There, upon the cold earth's bosom,
Mid the snow fakes as they fell,
Lay We our bright summer blossom
Lov'd in death, sweet Willie Ball.
