The sting Of scorn and taunt
Anu, stained with shame his ouce fur fan.
Ha stunned al human haunt
The eEeatide had vaned and died: -
Ihe night fell bleak and drea1:
Tue bitter blast came bowling pass
And nipped his western ear;
And from his nose, all lachrrmoee
There hung an icy tear.

moments Icy ca1n,-
calm which brought no pcace and vrmuh4
Within his heart no balm;
But LEFT him worn, and tost, and tom,
But still alone he struggled On:
Still deeper grew the night:
Still DER the void the temp hoglad.
More rarely cleaned Light;
1t length, cold, dim, and weirdly grim.
l. graveyard loomed in sight,
The tomb-stoncs white deaed ths nteht.
And weavsd ghostly spell;
Erect and stark, they clors the dark
Which pall-like round them fell:
Each, DER its mound of hallowed ground.
A spectral sentinel.
And from the gloom esch separate tomb
His presence seemed to WOO:
1mpelled By Fate, he swung tho gats
And staggered feebly through,
As. with the breath OF icy Death,
The cold lntenBer grew.
Again the blast came shzieting past,
And cut him to the bone;
He writhed, and pressed his tortured Maat
And gase quirering groan:
0na gro2n gsra he Of agony,
Then shrank behind atoue,
There's naught hal{-woy-no b1by-p1sr-
About your wiotry gale
It docs its work without ahtrk,
Like Jonah in the tale,
Wao 5corued to na2ke-O, stomach -schs F.
Two mouthfuls OF wtzla.
Unoccupied and yaHning vida
grave beside him l3y,
GhouI-1ike, with lean and hungry mt61,
Expectant Of its prey:
To foil the blast, his form he csst
Within its maU Of clay.
4 shiYeEing heap in darkness desn
Surrounded by the dead,
His c1ouchiug form he sought to vz18
Within his icy bed:
The still, black cold drew close ts fon-
The wind hoWled on oarhesd.
Tho world, we're told, is harBh aad eolac
Co,d-mark the Devils bait:
HIS home, 50 warm, must hsre chsEm
For shiTcriDg thra1ls OF Fats:
If dreams OF fire yeu render dire.

4 midnight bell broke forth to te1
The 1ifs-born Ct1istmashour:
Now, rent and tost, tha sound vss lo8
About the belf1J-tower;
Now high 1t sprang with qua7er1nG eHn&
And fell brazen AhoHer.
And, ere the sound hsd ceased, tho ground
Vas lighted through and through:
A palHd glare gleamed svorJwhsre,.
OF afckly, greeuiah hue
Disclosing, deep in h1deoua Sleep
Stark, moldedng forms to vieR.
Here, white snd fresh. with b1oodles ds9,
4 corpse lay. gaunt and thin:
There, ono Of hiue, metallic hue,
With perforated skin,
Where, sen-ins1a1ed, the ,nsggoss eExsisd.
Craxled sloEly ont and in.
And there, anon, skeleton
Grinned, hideons. In glee;
As if in p1ay to while away
Tho graves mouotony, y
It's fleshless ribs its hnger-ni1
Kept tickling endlesslJ.
Oh rare rctrcati Oh! comfort sHaet
To know that we'vo been born
To hold lcaso Of such pu1p pesc&
Until that mighty morn
When Gabriel gray shall COMO or NY
And toot his rusty horn.
Up 1eaped tho dread and stghtless dead,
AUD toward him stretched their lanks
Cold arms.-each ghost amid the hnta
With face yawning blank
Tie light died out, sud Ill about
In deep, dark stiffness sank-
The winters sun was far upca
Its journey to the West:
In sorrow bowed, and weeptng louas
With heaying, sob-rent breast.
Pale mourrers ,nored to SEQ the1 @Fe8
And lost one laid to rest.
As On tho clear and frosty atr
Died out the final stare,
4 voice cried out, aad Ill about
4 gasp Of horror gave:
