LOUIS BLANC.
Three SOnnets to His Memory.

The stainless soul that smiled through glorious
eyes;
The, bright grave brow whereon dark fortunes
blast
Might blow. but might not bend it, nor o'ercast,
Save for one fierce fleet hour of shame. the skies
Thrilled with warm dreams of worthier days TO
rise
And end the whole worlds winter; here at last
If death be death, have passed into the past:
death be life, live, though their semelanCe dies
Hope and high faith inviolate of distrust
Shone strong as life inviOlate OF the grave
Through each bright word and hneament
serene.
Most loving righteousness and love most just
Crowned as day crowns the dawn-enkindled
with visible aureOle thine unfaltering mien.
Strong time and fre-swift change, with ightnings
And shod with thunders of reverberate years.
Have filed with light and sound of hopes and
fears
The space of many season, since had
Grace of good hap to make my spirit glad,
Once eommuning with thine: and memory hears
The bright voice yet that then reioiced mine
Sees yet the light of eyes that spake, and babe
Fear not, but nope, though then times heart were
And heaven by hell shade-stricken, and the
range
OF high-bon hope made questionable ard
strange
As twilight trembling till the sunlight speak.
Thou saweSt the sunrise and the storm in one
Break; seest thou now the storm-compelling
sun?
