Barry Cornwall's Latest Poem.
sshould you dream ever OF the days depart
OF youth and morning no more to return
Forget not me, so fond and passionate:
hearted;
Quiet Ut last, reposing
Under the moss and fern.
Z. There, where the frettul lake in stormy
Comes circlnground the reddening church.
:. Rest, yam and ns cali back tho hours we lost toge-
ther,
Talking of hope, and soaring
Beyond poor earth's confines.
II, for those heavenly dreams too dimly
You became false-why, tits story old;
L overcome by pain, and unrequited,
Faded at last, and slumber
Under the autumn mold.
FAREWELL fsfewelll No longer plighted
lovers,
Doomed for day to sigh for sweet return:
Ono lives, indeed; one heart the green earth
covers.
Quiet at last, reposipg
Under the moss and fern.
