MISCELLANEOUS.
No shadow yet ON Me.

but alas there's shadow on my heart"
PRARE BIRD.
Oh, my heart is wild and joyous
As Il ever yet hath been,
With no ivy clinging round IL
Ghouls and canker-worms 10 screen
And pulses yet are thrilling
With bliss cannot tell,
And no hopes, like spectres shrouded
Slowly turn TO say farewell
To the world | still am cinging
Like a wild bee, TO the thyme;
The hours all SO gaily winging
Cast no shadow yet on minel
Though at times from cares dark pinion
May have been shadow cast,
Like breath upon mirror
Ii essayed in vain 10 cast
No tide Of deep forgetfnlness
Has as yet come rolling back,
The sterner the impeachment
Then the fercer the attack;
Oh, my heart is bright and joyoua,
'Tis its golden summer time;
Though thine own is all be-clouded
There's 20 shadow yet on mine.
