We copy the opening and closing stanzas and
we appeal to the reader if the opiate OF m Indian
Summers eve could so lull the senses, and make
all the soul to fade off and lapse more sweetly and
balmily into the shadowy realms of dreamland-
The whole conception is exquisitcly beautiful:
Beyond the sunset and the amber SEQ
To the lone depths of ether, cold, and bare,
Thy influence, Soul of all tranquility,
Hallows the Earth, and awcs the revcrent Air;
The laughing rivulet quells its silver tune;
The Pines like priestly WATCHERS, tall and grlm'
Stand mute, against the sanity Twilight dlm'
Breathless to hail the advent of the Moon;
From the white beach the Ocean falls away,
Coyly, and with thrill the sea-birds dart
Ghostlike from out the distance, and depart
With grey fleetness, moaning the dead Day;
The wings Of Silence, overlooking Space,
Droop in dusk grandeur from the heavenly steep
And through the stiffness CLEANS thy starry face
serenest Angel-sleep.
X
Then WOO we here amid these howery charms;
Breathe on my eyelids; press thy odorous Ups
Close to mine own; enfold me in thine arms,
And cloud my spirit with thy sweet eclipse;
And while from waning depth to depth fall,
Down-lapsing to the utmost depth of ali
Till wan Forgetfulness, obscurely stealing,
Creeps like en- Incarnation on the soul,
And DER the slow ebb of my conscious life
Dies the thin flush of the last conscious feeling
And like aJortire thunder, the dull roll
Of sullen passions spells far, far a'cay-
o, Angel loose the chords which cling to strife
Sever the gossamer bondage of my breath
And let me pass gently as winds in May,
From the dim realm which owns Thy shadowy sway
To thy divincr sleep, 0, sacred Death!
That Mr.. HAYNE possess q marked Versatlit,
of talent-a power to attain as we'll to the highes
reach of passion-csn be seen in the fiery ant
powerful poem of 'Queen Galcna." 1t has th'
genuine ring about it. The design is "to portray
the frenzy of an Eastern Sultana, whose lover ha'
deserted her, fascinated by the softer charms
some blonde beauty of the Vest:
Hold! let the heartless Pcrjurer 60!
Speak not strike not he is My foe,
From me, me only, comes the blow
l will repay him woe for woe;
Look in my eyes! my eyes are dry,
l breathe no plaint heave no sigh,
But-will avenge me ere die
