THE FAUST OF GOETHE.
By HALLECK.


We copy below the following exquisite transla-
toH by Fitz Greene Halleck, of the poetic preface
to Faust:
Again come, again thrOng around me,
Dim, shadOwy beings of my bOyhoOd's dream,
Still shall bless, as then, your spell that bound me
Still bend to mIsts and vapors, as ye seem.
Nearer ye GOMEZ yield me ye found me
In youth, your worshlpper, and as the stream
~ AR ,hat lOhis yon IN ITS magic wreaths
Flows by my lips, youths JOY ma bosom breathes.
Lost forms, and loved ones, We are with you bring
ing.
=, And dearest images of happier days;
irst love and frlndshlp in your path upspringng,
Like Oh traditions half remembered laws
And long slept sorrows walked, whose dirge-like
singing
Recalls my llfe's strange labyrinthne maze,
Ana names the he1Tt-mOured many n stern doom.
Ere thelr ear 5 summer, summoned to the tomb.
They hear not these my last songs, they whose
- greeting
Gladdsned my hrst-my spring time friends have
And gone fast iourneyng from the place Of meeting,
~, ne echos OF their welcome, one by one.
ihoush stranger crowds, my listeners since, are
beating
Time to my music their applaudng tone
Wore grleyes than glads me- while the treu anu true,
III yet on Garth, arc wandering lar anu iew'
A longing long unfeIt, deep drawn signing
For the dark spirit land O'erpowers me now,
NV songs faint voice sinks fainter, Ike the dying
Tones of the ind-harp swinging from the bOugh,
nying
Tears 20 my eyes sadness to my brow,
The near afaT of seems, the distant nigh,
The now a dream, the past reality.
