VIRGINIA.


Listen, to the solemn moaning
Whilst the ~leaiess branches wave,
Aud a deep unearihly grooming
Swells above tho sunkeu grave.
Hank TO the night winds shrek ing,
Raitling at the window pane,
Restless sprites forever seeking
Mortal friends and homes again.
Cluster round the blazing fire
As the shostly sounds draw higher,
Telling tales OF dire portent
How the massive tombs are rent
How the pallid- shGeted ghost
Gliding softly in the night
R.futes the t%liOughtless maiden's boast
Which summons up the fearful sight
Now the cheerful fire is sinking,
Casting round u iitful glow,
As ii the very flame was thinking
OF the winds 80 sad and low
Cluster. maidens, closer still,
Think not of the sounds So shrill
Which rise in anguish from yon grave,
As il the sprites in anger rave
To think that life, SO fair and gay,
Should dare to hold a peaceful sway
So near where Death, sad, grim aud cold,
Heaps up the level star-lit void.
w hen you llsteh, Sentle hhlleH'
On n cold and stormy night
10 the wintry breezes laden
With the anguish of some spritei
When you see in every shadow
Pale and CHASTITY forms Of Death,
When your very soul feels saddsr
At each damp aud chilly breath;
Remember! with a wiser brow,
That Life. which decks and cheers us now,
Bright Life, inspired by Beauty's breath,
Is but Il step removed from Death!
