A LOST SONG.


His thoughts were song, his life WAS singing,
Mems hearts and LIS he held and suiOte;
Hut In hie heart went ever ringing,
Ringing the aong he never wrote.
Echoea 0f music, always flying,
Always echo, never tho notcg
Pulses Of life, past life, past dying
All these In tho song no never wrote.
Trss ct last and his soul nps0aring,
Planets aud skies beneath his feet,
Wonder and rapture all o~utpcuring,
Eternity how simple, sweet!
Sorrow slsin and over regretting,
Lows and leve's lAb0rs left the same.
Weariuess over, sun y without setting,
Motion like thought on wings Of fiRme.
Higher the singer rose, and higher.
Heavens In spaces sunk like bars;
Great Joy within him glowed like fire,
he tossed his arms among the stars.
''This IL the life. past life, past dying;
| am |. and ! live the life:
Shame on tho thought OF mortal crying!
Shame on Its petty toll and strife!
by did | halt and weakly tremhle?"
Even in heaven the msm'ry smote-
Fool to be dumb and to dissemb'e!
Alas! for tho song | never wrote!"
