THE SILENT FAREWELL.
By II. T. TUcKERMAN.

.... By II. T. TUcKERMAN.
When starry gems from Heaven are cast
The winds awake no knell,
When rose-leaves fall before the blast
Birds sing no sad farewell;
When waves their sparliles cease TO throw
Upon the pebbly shore,
When sunset hues no longer grow,
And green boughs wave no more,
No ,cords at Natures shrine are breathed,
She silently lays down
The garland that her temples wreathed,
And takes the withered CROWN
But in her mystic circles range
There turks quiet spell,
Where time and beauty interchange
Their eloquent farewell.
And so when am called to lose
Communion sweet and dear,
And feel no more its holy dews
My weary spirit cheer,
All, streams that dropping willows shade
From sunshine turn aside,
Let me from joys thy presence made
A mournful silence glide.
