SORROW AND CoNsoLATlOG.

Oh God what awful depths Of woe
Beneath the flowers the happy tread!
What mournful cypress branches grow
Beside the roses joy has bred!
For one who smiles-how many grieve!
For one who larghs-how many weep!
While those on shore securely live,
What ruthless storms the ocean sweep
And yet, ye storms, ye come and 60;
Ye torrents sweep the land and pass:
oh that it were with sorrow so
Oh were it thus with tears, alas
Though one the aim-the common tomb
How different shows each single way
Ye all who wander that Of gloom,
OF grief, and terror, and dismay-
Bear on the load, nor feebly sink,
Nor doubt for all fitting close
1t is the thirsty who viii drink,
The weary who will ind repose.
