The Lake Of the Dismal Swamp.

uTbev tell of a Young man who lost hi
mind upon the death of the girl he loved, ano
who. suddenly disappearing from MS iriends
vas never afterwards heard of. As he haf
freouently said in his rawlings that the girl wa
NOT dead hut gone to the Dismal Swamp, !
Il sunnosed that he had wandered into thai
dreary wilderness, and had died OF hunger, o.
been lost in some Of its dreadful morasses.
"Thev made her a grave, too cold and damp
For a soul so warm and true /; Swamp
And she's gone to the Lake of the Disma
Where, all night long, by FREELY lamp,
She paddles her W canoe.
.. And her FREELY lamp l soon shall sec,
And her paddle l soon shall hear
Long and loving our life shall be,
And I'll hide the maid in a cypress treee,
When the footsteps of death draw near"
AWAY TO the Dismal Swamp he speeds
His path was rugged and sore
Through tangled juniper, beds OF reeds,
Through many a fen, where the serpent feeds
And man never trod before.
And. when on the earth he sunk to sleep,
If slumber his eye-lids knew,
He Law where the deadly vine doth weep
Its ycnomous tear, and nightly steep
The flesh with blistering dew!
And near him the she-wolf stirr'd the brake,
And the copper snake breathed in his ear,
Till he starting cried, from his dream awake
.'Oh when shall l see the dusky Lake,
And the white canoe of my dear ?"
He saw the Lake, and a meteor bright
Quick over its surface played
Welcome he said, 'my dear ones light,
And the dim shore echoed, for many a night,
The name of the death-cold maid,-
Till he followed a boat of the birchen bark,
Which carried him off from shore
Far, far he followed the meteor spark,
The wind was high and the clouds were dark
And the boat returned no more.
But oft, from the Indian hunters camp,
This lover and maid SO true
Are seen, at the hour of midnight damp,
To cross the Lake by a freely lamp,
And paddle their white canoe.
