POETRY.
The Little Boy Thst pYed.

The author of this touching poem. Mr.. Joshua d
Robinson, died of Cholera at San Antonio, Texas
He was a young man, comparatively, and of grea
promise. Though he may have written nothing els,
deserving to survive him. this poem viii keep hii
memory green in the annals Of American literature
1t was written the occasion OF the death Of his lit
tie brother, while Mr.. Robinson was student a
Harvard College
am all alone in my chamber now,
And the midnight hour is near;
And the faggots crack and the clocks duh tick
Arc the only sounds hear; .......g ........
| And over my Soul in its solitude
| Sweet feelings Of sadness glide; Fa
For my heart and my eyes are full when think
! OF the little boy that died.
l went one night to my fathers house.
| Went home to the dear enes all,
And softly opened the garden gate
! And softly the door of the hall
My mother came out to meet her SON
She kissed me and thcntss, sighed.
Aud her head fell on my ilsck and she wcpt
For the little boy that died.
And when gazed on his innocent face,
As still and cold he lay,
And thought what a lovely child he ad.been,
And soon he must decay,
"0h, DEATH thou lowest the beautiful"
In the woe of my spirit cried
For sparked the eyes, and the forehead was fair
Of the little boy that died.
Again will go to my fathers house
Go home to the dear ones all,
And sadly I'll open the garden gate,
And sadly the door of the hall,
| shall meet my mother, bat never more
With her darling by her sde
But she Ii kiss me. and sigh, and weep again @
For the little boy that died gH4
sh all miss him when the flowers come
In the garden where he played;
shall miss him more by the freside
When the flowers have all decayed,
I shall see his toys and his empty chair.
And the horse he used to ride,
And they will speak with silent speech
OF the little boy that died. - .t..
I shall see his little sister again.
With her playmates about the door;
And III watch the children in their sport
As never did before;
And if in the group see a child
That's dlmpled and laughing eyed,
III look to see if it may not be
The little boy that died,
We shall go home to our Fathers house
To our Fathers house in the skies
When the hope of our souls shall have no blight.
And our love no broken ties
We shall roam on the banks Of the river OF Peace
And ba The in its blissful tide,
And one Of the joys Of our heaven shall be
The little boy that died
Aud therefore when am sitting Alone
When the midnights hour is near,
When the faggots crack and the clocks dull tick
Are the only sounds hear t.I
Oh sweet o er my soul, in its solitude,
Are the feelings of sadness that glide;
