MY DREAM.
BY J. G. WHITTIER.

by J. G. WHITTIER.
In my dream, methought I trod,
Yesteinigllt, a mountain road;
Marrow as AL Straits span,
High as eagles fight, it ran.
Overhead, a roof of cloud,
With its weight of thunder bowed
Underneath, TO left and right.
Blanknoss and absymal night.
Here and there wild flower bushcd,
Now and then a birdsong gushed
Now and then through ruts of shade.
Stars shonc out, and sunbcams played.
But the goodly company,
Walking in that path with me,
One by one the brink oersil,
One by one the darkness hid.
Some with wailing and lament,
Some with cheerful courage, went
But, of all who smiled or moumc1,
Never one to us returned
AnXiously, with eye and ear,
Questioning that shadow drcar,
Never hand in token stirred
Never answering voice heard!
Sleeper, darker 10 | felt
From my feet the pathway melt,
Swallowed by the black despair,
And the hungry jaws of air
Past the stonv-throatcd caves,
Stranglcd by the wash of waves,
Past the splintcred crags, ] sank,
On a green and tlowcry bank
Soft as fall of thistle-down,
Lightly as a cloud is blown,
Soothingly as childhood pressed
To the bosom of its rest.
OF the sharp horned rocks instead,
Green the grassy carpets spread,
Bright with waters, singing by
Trees that propped a golden sky.
Painless, trustful, sorrow-free
Old lost faces welcomed me,
With whose sweetness Of content.
Still expcctant hope was blcnt
Waking while the dawuing gray,
Slowly frightened into day,
Pondcring, that vision fed,
Thus unto myself said
Steep, and hung with clouds Of strife,
Is our narrow path of life ;
And our death the dreaded fall
Through the dark, awaiting all.
" So with painful steps We 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 untried and unknown
Yet the end thereof may seem
Like the falling of my dream.
" And this heart-consuming care.
All our fears of here and there,
Change and absence, loss and death,
Prove but simple lack of faith"
Thou. oh, Most Compassionate
Who didst stoop to our estate,
Drinking of the cup we drain,
Treading in our path of pain.
Through the doubt and mystery,
Grant to us Thy steps to see,
And the grace TO draw from thence
Larger hope and confidence.
Show thy vacant tomb, anl LET,
As Of old, the angels sit,
Whispering by its open door:
Fear not! lIehath gone before !"
