THE ASCENSION.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

From the Spanish OF Louis Ponce de Leon NJ
Good Shepherd, wilt thou leave,
In this low vale the flock that was thy care
Alone TO pine ard grieve.
While through the purer air
Thou risest up TO fields forever fairT
They who. supremacy olest,
Until the dawn of this unhappy day
Leaned on thy loving breast,
To whom on earth shall they
Hearken or look when thou art far away7
What comeliness grace
Can they whose eyes behold thy beauty see
In other form or face?
What music viii not be
Harsh to the ears that hardened once 10 tnee?
Who now upon the deep
Shall look and curb It's fury? Who shall lay
The stormy winds asleepf
What lode-star's friendly ray.
When thine is hid, shall guide the vessels way :
Why change our happy state,
o envious cloud, TO helplessness and fearI
How proud of their rich freight
Thy shining folds appear!
How blind and wretched thou dost leave US here

And suddenly at my coming
The quick grouse whirs.
Untouched through all mutation

Around me les:

All tarred to dust,

A mossy mound my pillow,

Babe of this mother, lying
A fresh young bride,
That old, old man is dying
Here by her side!
Imuse: above me hovers
A haze of dreams:
Bright maids aud laughing lovers,
Ldfe's morning CLEANS;
The past with all its passions,
Its tolls and wiles-
It's ancient follies, fashions,
And tears and smiles;
with thirsts and fever RACES,
And ceaseless pains,
Hoarding as for the ages
Its little gainsl
Pair lives that bloom and wither,
Their summer done;
Loved forms with heart break h1ther
Borne one by one.

Now reck no more
Which mourned on earth the other
Or went before.
The soul risen from its embers,
In its blessed state
Perchance not even remembers
Its early fate;
Nor heeds, In duration
Ofspheres sublime,
This pebble OF creation,
This wave OF time.
For swift moment only
Such dreams arise:
Then, turning from this lonely,
Tossed field my eyes
Through clumps of whortleberry
And brier look down
Toward yonder cemetery,
And modern town,
Where still men build, and marry,
And strive and mourn,
And now the dark pail carry,
And now are borne,
