Nor autumn's frultage thickon

Oh how sal to look before me,
Every year,
While the cloud grows datkerO'ef me,

EULALIE.
70 F.

beyond the castle hill was known maiden's
name,
A maiden of the golden West,
Who with the flowers in the morning came,
At night-fall sank to rest,
Fen as flower in the morning sim
Blooms on its native heath,
Yet dying when the day is done,
With darkness finding death.
;,rwas Eulalie, and fairest Eulalie,
By that the angels knew her,
when beneath the pillows of the sea,
The water-spirits drew her.
Sea shells adorn her ocean tomb,
And sunbeams glld it DER,
The murmring waves dispel the gloom
AS they sigh against the shore.
And all the night-tide shall see her bright
eyes,
when I look upon the sounding sea,
Like stars away in Paradise,
Ever sadly Gliding me.
And never more we'll meet again,
And never more Wen part,
And never feel that voiceless pain,
That breaks breaking heart
The Christmas bells are ringing.
Ringing carols of praise,
Diyinest music bringing,
To the sere, December days.
They sound above the ocean grave,
Her tomb in the Western sea,
And die upon the fading wave,
That watts it on from me. OLIVE.

WHERE THE FLOWERS NEVER FADE.

~ WILLIAM TENNYsON HEAToN, AUTHOR
SONGS OF THE SHENANDOAH.
Under the shade of this lovely pine,
Where we used to talk of God,
We muse together over the past
But she is under the sod.
Our spirits hold communion sweet,
AS in the days gone by.
When we talked of love together
Ere was said the last goodbye.
But such joy was not for mortals,
So the angels took her home,
Home to heavens golden portals
Leaving me alone to roam.
Here within the quiet churchyard,
Beneath this solemn shade,
They laid the fair-haired angel,
Where the summer flowers fade.
But now she lives and loves forever,
Where there falls MCCARTHY shade,
Roams the banks of heavens river,
Where the flowers never fade!
