THERE rs NO DEATH.

TEE following ID, we believe, one of the poetical
illusions of the great seutimentalst Sir Il. Bulwer
Lytton, he who, more than any man, has reconciled
sentimcnt Ia all its tenderness with common sense
in aiidts SOhdity; rs 81 NJ ~ s.ac
There is no deatht The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in Heavens jewelled crown
They shine forevermore.
There is no death The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers;
The granite rocks disorganize
"a To feed the hungry moss they bear t
The forest leaves drink daily lie
From out the viewless afr
There is no death; the leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait, through wintry hours
The coming Of the May.
There is no death An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread,
lie bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them dead"
He leaves our hearts all desoIate--
He plucks our fairest sweetest flowers;
Transpanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-lke voice, whose joyous tones
Made glad this scene Of sin and strife,
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the tree Of life HtHt iH4
And where he sees smile too bright,
Or hearts too pure for faint and vice,
He bears it to that world of light
To dwell in Paradise. i
Born into that undying life
They leave us but to come again;
With joy we welcome them--the same,
bar Except in sin and pain, .-r.f 4
And ever near us though unseen, fI
The dear immortal spirits tread;
isi'For all the boundless Universe
OBJ Is life-=there are no dead. e.
