MY DREAM.

nl Ss Ss " n = - -as
In my dream methought | ,rod
Yesternighi, a mouniain'road;
Narrow as al sinat's span,
High as eagles fight il ran.
Overhead roof Of cloud,
With its weight OF thunder bowed;
Underneath, 10 lelt and right,
Blackness and abysmal night.
Here and there wild flower blushed,
Now and then bird-song gushsd;
Now and then, through rii,s Of shade,
Stars shone out and sunbeams played.
Bu, the goodly company,
Walking in that path with me,
One by one the brink o'rslid,
One by one the darkness hid.
Some with wailing and lament,
some with cheerful courage went;
Bu, of all who smiled and mourned,
Never one TO Us returned.
Anxiously with, eye and ear,
Questioning that shadow drear,
Never hand in token stirred,
Never answering voice l heard!
Sleeper, arker,-lo felt
From my feet the pathway melt.
Swallowed by th. black despair,
And the hungry jaws CT air.
Past the s,ony.,hroated caves,
Stransled BY the wash Of waves,
Pas, the splin,ered crags sank
On a green and fiowery bank
Soit as fall Of this,le-down,
Lightly as a cloud is blown,
Soo,hingly as childhood pressed
To the bosom OF its rest.
or the sharp-horned rocks instead,
Green the grassy carpets spread,
Bright with waters singing by
Trees that prOpped a golden sky.
Painless, trustful, sorow.iree,
Old lost faces welcomed me,
With whose sweetness Of conient,
Still expectant hope was blent.
Waking while the dawning gray
Slowly frightened into day,
Pondering that vision hed,
Thus unto myself said;
Steep, and hung with clouds OF atrile,
Is our narrow path Of life;
And our death the dreaded fall
Through the dark, awai,in & oil.
so with painful steps VIC climb
Up the dizzy ways of time,
Ever in the shadow shed
BY the forecast Of our dread.
. Dread Of mystery solved alone,
OF the untlred and unknown;
Yet the end thereof may seem
Like the falling Of my dream.
. And this hcart-consuming care,
All our fears Of here Or there,
Change OF absence, loss aud death,
Prove bu, simple lack Of faith"
Thou, o Mos, Compassionate!
Who dds, stoop TO our estate,
Drinking Of the cup we drain,
Treadlng in our path Of pain,
Thro.gh the doub, and mystery,
Grant to us Thy steps to see,
And the grace TO draw from thence
Larger hope aud confidence,
Show thy vacant tomb, and LET,
As OF old, the angels sit
Whispering, by it. open door;
q Fear not! lie hath gone before!"
