What Ia letter? Let affection tell
A tongue that speaks of those who absent dwell !
A silent language uttered TO the eye
Which envious distance would in vain deny;

Framed to convey, like an electric chain,

The throb of passion by drop OF ink.

"As when a bird hath flown through the air
there is no token of her way TO be found, and n
sign whittier she went."-l Wisdom of Solomon
5th and l1th.
There came bird of merry song,
Bright eye, and plumage rare,
A heavenly visitant to make
This world of ours more fair.
1t chirp'd amid the birds of Spring,
1t drank the balmy ray,
And pour'd wild enchanting strain
Through the long Summer day.
Yet when the leaves began to fall
At Autumn's frosty prime,
1t seemed to mediate a fl ight
To some more genial cline.
In its soft nest, mid branches green.
We saw its dropping head
And then it spread its wing and left
No token where it fled;
= No yestige of its fairy form,
Or of its tuneful lay,
Save the large tear in Memory's heart,
That will not dry away.
