To Thee.
Twas years ago; not ere I'd heard thy name
And gazed upon thy pure divinity
Of loveliness; nor ere I'd caught from thine
Own princely presence somewhat Of that dear
Bewildering witchery that makes it now
My life of life to be near thee; but years
Ago, that one-some chance remarker Of
Iife's daily things-in passing told me, thou
Vast all unlike the many aohom he kaeac;
Thy thoughts tosre not for all; thy sorrows and
Thy joys pere thine alone, at least the many
Knep them not thou hadst no confdante
| Who shared thine inner life and mingledia
Thy beings o,rn peculiar dream.
| Oh could ..
tell thee all the joy his casual words
Conveyed the solemn JOY, life-deep, intense,
And still, and wondrous as trance, the wild
And hope-like, secret, nameless joy, that I
Had seen Alright and rightly had OWNED
The sacred spell that made and makes thee all
Thou vast and art-the soul thy form revealed
To me-thy spirits self that beamed through all
Thou didst and oil thou wast-the oneness that
Was only thine to me-the (-dare 1 say
My very thought at once ?-the) MINENEss Of
Thine own peculiar soul.
| he spake-that chance
Remarker of the daily things Of life
He spake, and went his daily way; and 1
Went mine, apart, to hope. His thoughts went
forth
Again to other things Of life; and mine
Went forth to thee-in after years, to thee
In oil the WEAKNESS and dreariness
And bitterness of lonely life, to thee
In all the ills and well Of stranger-life,
To thee--in all the rapture of my SOULS
Divinest dream Of dreams, to thee-in all
That have lived that aught of goodness knew
Or hope or prayer, to thee--in thoughts Of Heaven
And in its one eternal Hope, to thee.

Hawthorne has just got off new novcl-"The
Marble Faun, or the Romance Of Monte Bsni."-
The scene is Roman, and vast amount of accu.
