THE DESERTED MANSION.

BY JOSEPH ANTHONY, JUN.
l come once more to thee thou time-worn pile,
by fancy led,
On days of yore and thee to muse as evenings
shadows spread,
And in thy windows CLEANS the sunset red,
To fancy's dreams those ruddy rays within thy
halls have birth,
And could deem voices l heard in melody OF
mirth,
And saw bright faces round thy cheerful hearth.
Or, as ofold, ere yet the days of chivalry had
fled,
My dreams behold, by warrior brave, the Queen
OF Beauty led,
And in thy banner'd halls the banquet spread
But thou art lone, and ruthless ravage reigns
within thy walls;
With wall and moan the hollow blast, through
thy deserted halls.
Like Ruins voice, thy fallen state recalls.
And never more within thy halls her wand shall
Revel wave;
Forever DER the bumper-pledge to beauty and
the brave,
Where boots the OWL and winds in witdness rave.
And here where grew the beautiful, in flowers
that perfume shed.
nettle spread
Congena curtains round deaf adders' bed
Hoar wreck, feel the influence of this solemn
hour and thee,
AS round thee steal yet darker shadows forth
from tower and tree,
Whilst gliding forms dothdreaming fancy see.
Here oft, / ween, have tinid hinds, upon their
homeward way
All fearful, seen, beneath the fading twilight's
deepening grey,
Strange forms, that seemed to beckon them away.
And by the fires of cottage hearths, how oft, on
wintry night,
That never tires is told the tale, imparting dread
delight,
Of thee, dark ruin, and each haunting sprile.
Dim in the dell. leave thee now to drear congen-
ial glooms,
Ruin, farewell, as yonder elms, where faint thy
form yet looms,
Wave their dark branches like funeral plumes.
Dreamer, away lin one vast gloom the shadows
all unite;
Gone is the day: CLEANS in his leafy hall the
glow-worm's light.
And, robed in sable, world-enthroned is Night
