How sad we deem the fate o, those

For those who cannot speak,

A dear-ioged maiden's name!
with all the haste that love eould urge,
They brought the maiden dear
Her presence had a wondrous charm,
HIS pain-worn breast to cheer.
He LAID his waveriDg, palsied arm,
Around her neck SO fair,
And nevertheless his fingers played
Among her raven hair!
Thus passed the day, the night came on
We saw his glaring eye,
The growing paior Of his face,
And knew that death was nigh
That sorrow- laden night at last,
Wore glorIously away,
But to those dim and sunken orbs,
Came no return OF day.
For ere the morning streaked the east,
The struggling soul had hed,
And all Of him that stayed with Us,

There was no loud lament, we knew
To him relief had come;
We knew one noble spirit more,
Had found a happy home.

took it into his head that he was painter,
