THE WASTED FLOWER.

The storms Of Heaven have borne thee down,
Thy stem is broke-thy leaves are strown
In wild disorder o'er the plain,
Whence thou shalt never lift again
Thy head, to catch the evening dew,
Or charm the lonely wanderers view.
Yet, wasted flower! thy sweet perfume
Partakes not of thy fearful doom;
II fingers still around the spot
Where 'erst thy form the sunshine caught;
And pours its incense on The air,
When thou art desolate and bare.
Thou art a type, thon lovely flower!
Z .Of virtues death-serving power
Fit emblem of the fragrance shed
Around the truly ~virtuous dead
The hallowed memory of the good,
Which from the graves cold solitude,
Gives TO the thought of parted worth,
A charm unknown to things Of earth.
