TIE MYSTERV.
By BAYARD TAYLOR,

Ut is seldom we find poem so touching
so perfect. as the following. Thought and ez-
Preston match each other with equal beauty
and form one ofthe finest tributes ever paid TO
woman. Taylor has well kept the Giving love
OF old" and the fair Being WHO early bore
away his heart to Paradise, may well bend
ium the heavens to listen to the sweetness of
his song.-Ed. JoUR.) -........ -,..,..
Thou art not dead thou art not gone TO dust /;
No line of all thy loyelincss shall fall
To formlcss ruin sniote by time and thrust
into the solemn gulf that covers all,
Thou canst not wholly perish, though the sod
Sink with its violets closer to thy breast;
Enough by the feet of general ions troll,
Thy Maidstone crurnbies from thy placc OF
rest.
The marvel Of thy beauty cannot die;
The swCtt:tss Of thy Presence canuot FACE /;
Earth gave not all the glory ofthinc eye
Death may lot keep yEat death has never

I,uss1,,t ;h;ns, that forehead strange and bold
Nor tl,ee dumb lips they hid beneath the
SNOW:
TIg heart would ilrob beneath that passive
fold.
tbs hands for me that stony clasp forego.
But thou hast gone - gone from The dreary
LAM,
Gone from the storms let loose on every hill,
Lured by tie sweet persuasion ola hand
Which leads thee somewhere in the distance
still;
Therc'rr thou art. know thou wearest yet
The same bewildering beauty, saIctIfe1
Hv caImer 10Y, and touched with soft regret
Furhiut v ho seeks, bat cannOtreach thy side.
7 keep for thee living love of old,
and seek thy place in Nature, as child
~ hg,st, hand is parted from his playmates hold,
Wa-lders and cries along a lonesome wild.
When in the watches of my heart, | hear
The messages of purer life, and know
The footsteps of thy spirit lingering near.
The darkness hides the way that should go.
Canst thou not bid the empty realms restore
That form. the symbol of thy heavenly part!
Or on the fields of barren silence pour
That yoice, the perfect music OF thy heart!
Oh once, once bending TO these widowed lips
Take back the tender warmth oflife from me,
Or let Inv kisses cloud with swift eclipse
The lie ofmine and give me death with thee !
