Bits OF gladDcss and of sorrow,
Strangely crossed and uterlain;
BIS OF cloud.belt and of rainbow,

Bits Of storm when winds are warring.
Bits of calm when blasts nre stayed,
Bits OF silence and of uproar,
Bits Of sunshine and OF shade;
Bits of forcstsmothored hollow,

Strip of garden and of moorhood,
Heath and rose together laid;

Depths of valley peaks Of mountains;
Stretch of verdure.loviug plair;
Barren miles Of occan.shinglc,
Fertile straths Of smiling grain.
Broken shafts of Tyran columns,

Miles of colonade and grandeur,

Truest music. jarrng discord,
Ncico of trumpet and of lutte;
Now the thunder showers loud lasbing,
Now the dew-iall, soft aud mute,
Now the garland. now tho coffin,

Now the churchyard's lonely gloom;
Now the song above tho living.
Now the dirge above the dead;
The smooth smile of infant beauty.
