A SACRED MELODY.

Whore kindred spirits rc.unite
Whom death has torn nssundor hero,
How sweet It were nt once 10 fe,
Aud !eayo this bligh'cd world afar--
Mix soul with soul to clcavc tho sky,
And soar away from star to star.
But. o how dark. how drcar how lono
Would seem tho brightest world Of bliss
IL. wandering through each radiant zone,
We failed to find the lovod Of this.
If thcro no moro the ties should twinc,
Which deaths cold hand alone can sever
ALI then those stars in morkcry shine,
More hateful, as they shine forever
1t cannot be each hopc and fear
That lights the eyo or clouds tho brow,
Proc!aims there is happier sphere
Than this bleak world that holds us now
Thcrc is n voice which sorrow hears
When heaviest weighs lifo's galliug chain
'Tis Heaven that whispers. dry thy tears
