THE MOURNFUL MINSTREL.

The Minstrel had harp that rang
Attuned to bold. triumphant words:
The wild-tOwcr blossomed where he sang,
Or watch-fire glinted bright on swords,
OF heautlOus DANES and puissant lords
He carroled many lightsome lay;
But now, howe'er he strikes the chords,
Each ditty ends in "Well--aday"-
The burtheu stll is "Well-a-day."
He sings Of War-impetuous foes
Like thundcr-clouds resoundlnS meet
But ever at the conflicts close
bis harp seems wailing for defeat.
OF love he sings a prelude sweet
As zephyrs pipe to buds Of May;
But Autumn winds Tegretful beat
Their cadence soon Of "Well-a-dayh-
Love ends, like war, in "Well-a-day"
Far echoed Pridc's imperious tone,
High scared DevOtiOp's voice divine;
Now dirges faltcr round the throne,
And Prayer sinks soDbing at the shrine,
Rattle Natures bloom, Arts deft design,
In melancholy strains decay;
LIES early light has ceased 10 shine,
And darkness falls, with 'Nell-a-day,"-
Night comes to mate with "Well-a-day"
And while thus chants the Minstrel strane,
OF strength or wisdom, grace or gold,
Interpreting each r2oUrnful change,

The mists that wrapped his form unfold
