The Old Burying-Ground.

By JOHN c. WHITTIER.
Our Wales are sweet with fern and rose
Our hills are map e crowned;
But OF from them fathers chose
The village burving-ground
The drepriest spot in all tire land
To Death they set apart
With scanty grace from Natures hand,
And none from that of Art.
A winding wall Of mossv stone.
Frostiung and broken lines.
a lonesome acre thinly grown
With grass aud wandering vines.
without the wall birch tree shows
It's dropped and tassel'd head:
Within the stag-horred snmaclS grows
Fern-leaFcd, with spikes of red
There, sheep thet craze the neiehboring plain.
JiSewhite ghosts come and %
The farm horse dFags HE fetlock chain,
The eow-hell tinkles slow.
Low means the river from its bed,
The distant pines reply;
Like mourners shrinking from the dead,
They stand apart and sigh.
Unshaded smitrs the summer sun.
Unchecked the winter blast:
The school girl learns the place to shun,
With glances backward cast.
For TINS our fathers testified
That he might read who ran
The emptiness o. human pride,
The nothfngpess of man.
They dared not plant the grave with flowers
Nor dress the funeral sod
Where. with love as deep as ours
They left their dead with God
The hard and thorny path they kept;
From beauty turned aside:
Nor missed thew over those who slept
The grace to life denied.
Yet still The wilding flowers wonld blow,
The golden leaves would fall.
The seasons come. the seasons go,
And God be good to ell
Above the grave the blackberry hung
In bloom and green its leaf
The hare bells swung as If they rung
The chimes peace beneath.
The beauty nature loves to share
The 81 is she hath for all,
The common light, the common air,
O'ercrept the grayeyard's wall.
1t knew the glow OF eventide,
The sunrise and the noon,
And glorifed and sanctifed
1t slept beneath the moon.
