MY BURIAL GROUND.

Pve burial ground, all, oil my own,
Where the Past wears deepest goom
IT'S n solemn spot, but never stone
Tells its falsehoods o'er tomb.
There cypress grows and the dismal yew,
lnterlocked by the growth OF fyears,
From tha boughs of which drips the morn
ing's dew.
With the brackishness of tears.
There's enchantment weired. hut yet sub
lime.
Prevailing its tranquil air,
And full often at the twilight time
Does my fancy wander there.
There's an echo there from broken strings
refrain from the years gone by.
And n rustling of mysterious wings,
As soft as a parting sigh.
Oh l cannot tell-for do not know
The number ofgraves l've made;
But the things I've cherished most lie low
In that damp and dreary shade.
There's n mine of sorrow beneath the sod,
That my sighs may never exhaust,
And read lecture from every clod,
Where bury my loved and lost,
Hopes akin TO dreams ofParadse-
Idols of my youthful neart-
Oh, there s never such blue been in the
skies,
Since saw those hopes depart
Some sickened and died in single day,
Abandoned by weak design,
But some like the summer passed away,
In a slow and sad decline.
pvea sorrow, alien to all grief,
For those children of heart and brain,
Whose existence was SO bright, yet brief,
In the castles had in Spain.
Those castles are down, their ruins,o' err
grown
With rank, pcstiferous weeds,
But l yet hope to utilize each stene
In paving the way to deeds
Yes, when smiles the gentle dying day
On Hesperus, newly crowned,
My fancy loves for time to stray
In my solemn burial grond;
And thence it comes with rare perfume,
From flower that none may see
A flower of a sweet, upfading bloom,
1t is named-Hnmility.
