La MISERE,

TRANSLATED from the French of Robert Feliclt,
de Lamennais
From the depths Of our awful sorrow,
God to Thee we cry;
Like the dove in the vulture's clutches;
Like the lamb when the wolf is nigh;
Like the OK. meath the yoke. all bloody;
Like the swallow that falls at last
Wing-wearied upon the pillows
When her voyage is almost past
Like wanderers over a desert
Who va'nly for water cry:
Like the shipwrecked on coasts deserted,
Who famished and helpless die:
Like the prIsner In dungeon pining;
Like a slave by the sharp lash torn;
Like the Innocent brought TO perish
On the scaffold midst ieers OF scorn.
Like the nations of earth now watching
For the dawn of the age to be;
Like the Christ on the cross exclaimlng,
why hast Thou forsaken me ?"
Like these we cry In our sorrow,
o Father ! like these to Thee.

And storm-clouds have darkened my life,
go to my garden for quiet.
And fnd there a refuge from strife;
find that the rains which have fallen
Have but rendered the air more sweet,
While the lightning, that seemed so fearful,
only robbed the sky of its heat.
And now in my garden my flowers
Are fairer than ever before;
And SO viii my life be the purer

And robin returns to his nest,
When long, dreary winter is over.

For that which is true OF my garden
Shall be true OF my heart as well.

DEL JUDICIUM.

The Master wrote upon the ground,
The hooking rabbIe closed around
High DER Tabor's towering brow
Inc morning mist is rising now;
Inc days first rays strike clear and keen
Against the crags OF Gadarine;
zephyr pure as angels br cath
Plays Ger blue Gsnuesareth;
The wild bees wake the flowers upon
The storled plain Of Esdreion,
And laughing go the silver riIis
Adown the grassy Moab hills.
The woman stood within the place
And yelled her frightened, sinful face.
Across the temples jewel led wall
The slantlng beams of sunshine fall;
The gentle Syrian summer breeze
Blows softly through the olive trees;
The early airs hang fresh and cool
Above Siloam's crystal pool.
And out hey ond Gethsemane
Where banks of valley lilies be
Where cedar shadows yet lie deep
The Jewish shepherds lead their sheep.
The Master rose from off the ground,
He saw the rabbe close around,
He saw the people stepped in guilt
The prophets blood at altar split:
He saw the temple-godly gem,
The glory of Jerusalem;
That holy place. tho Mercy Seat
Polluted by unpriestIy feet;
Inc great Sheklnah'5 halne grow dim
Between the wings of cherubm.

The Master looked, the crowd had gone,
Like Hermon's dew before the dawn.
AS dusky spirits wing away
Before the breaking beam OF day
Each one had vanished from his place,
Nor showed his vile. accusing face.

The woman kneeled within the place,
And hid her softened, fearful face.
The night was past, the stars had set
The day stood over OIivet;
The first clear radiance of the sun
Lay pure on lofty Lebanon;
The cripple bathed his withered limb
Below Bethesda's but bling brim;
The Levite lit the altar fires.

IN Il ABYLON.

u
By Baoeis rivers lorn and sad,
We weep in silence, grief and fear.
No eye seems bright. no heart seems glad,
Among the h2pless captlves here.
Far from the Temples beauteous gate,
Our warriors brave, our maidens fair,
Must bear the bond-save's cruel fate;
But Hebrew hearts defy despair.
Where proud Euphrates laves the plain
Towhere the Tigris' waters flow,
Our limbs are fetter'd with the chain
OF bondage TO the ChaIdean foe.
Our harps that once melodious rang
In rapture, when their strings were free,
In sadness and in silence hang
Upon the weeping willow tree.
Though heathens hate and ChaIdeans scorn,
We loathe the Baby oniaR hordes-
Who oft-times fed with banners torn
Before our Hebrew warriors swords.
While eHilesin this hated land.
our harps shall still remain unstrung;
Palled is the Hebrew minstrel's hand,
The dance untrod, the song unsung
Our matrons' signs, onr maidens' tears,
For ruined homes, for hearts undone,
Will not assuage our bitter years,
Captives in goddess Babylon.
Though by the rivers here we weep.
Our curbesS minds are still as free
AS the blue waters of the deep,
As chalnless as the storm-tossed sea-
Oh! dread Jehovah, stay thy hand
Nor see our priests and prophets driven
Before the heather conquerors band
As If we lost the smiles OF heaven.
Base babylon our mute appeal
For swift winged vengearce-to the Lord,
Shall place thee meath the oppresSor's heel,
To perish by the Persians' sword.
