AN IDLE POET.

He fills more the woodland deeps
With songful sound.

For like the birds,

Too deep for words.

press a nations loss. We are forced
to exclaim with the language of Hal

Meeting with JOY by the old hcdge-row-
Long aga.
hut times departure. steady and slow,
With years of roses and years of snow.
Has wrapped the park ia chill and glow
Roses and snow!
Marjorie married the son Of a peer:
Marjorie : life was short aud drear;
Forgotten size, for many a year.
In church-yard drear:
While to the poets record clear
Came sweet fame and "a long career,
Fortune, and love. AMI all things dear
Iiessed earecr,
Blithe was inst summer pissed away;
Happy the little maid. they say:
Tender the poet that sunny day
Passed uway
Flown arr the hinis frUm tree AMI spray.
Dust Is swce, little Marjorie Gray;
Deathlcss the hoaored poets lay
wrliadayl
