FLOWERS-A DIRGE.

FLOWERS-A DIRGE.
From poem, called "Time and the Ages,
in 1.-THE Shekinah" for October, by Fanny
Green-a poem in all respects remarkable.
Sleep, my children Soft and fair
Besms the morn, and breathes the air,
Gentle rain and pearly dew,
Shed their freshness over you
Children of the early morn,
Ye are gone-all gone.
One by one gave You rest,
Iu our loving mothers breast,
Where the chirping swallows play,
And the singing waters stray,
And tho light is soft as dawn
Ye are gone-all gone.
Ye were lovely as the flowers
That awoke within your bowers,
Gentle as the bleating fiocks
Tha, We led among the rocks;
But thy early hopes are shorn-
Ye are gone-all gone.
Children of the sunny CLINE,
Earliest, fairest-born Of Time
have hushed in sweetest sleep,
Eyes that scarcely learned to weep,
Hearts that might have been forlorn-
Ye are goue--all gone.
But your virtues could not die,
They are set like stars, on high,
Beaming with purer light
Mid the mysteries of Night;
Through the portals of the Morn,
Ye are gone--all gone.
