The Virgins Grave.

IOriginal.
The Virgins Grave.
'ris lowly grave, but it suits her best,
Since it breathes of fragrance and speaks
of rest,
ADD meet for her is its calm repose.
Whose life was so stormy and sad to its
close.
IT'S shady dellwhere they laid her FORM,
And the hills gather round it to break the
storm,
While above her head, the bending trees
Arrest the wing os each ruder breeze.
A trickling stream. as it winds below,
. Has music of oeacs in its quiet how,
Aud the buds that are ever in bloom
above.
Tell of some ministering spirits love.
1t il sweet to think that when all is DER.
And lfe's fever'd pulses shall fret no more,
There still shsli be one, with q fond re-
gret,
Who will not forsake, and who cannot
forget:
One kindler heart. all untaiuted BY earth,
That has kept the fresh bi0bm from its
bud and its birth,
Whose tears for the sorrows Of youth shall
be shed,
And whose pray'r shall still rise for the
early dead.
