THE TOMB OF BURNS.


What woos the world to yonder shrine!
Was this some master faultless-hne,
In whom We prise

Ana what makes truth 9iVlne, ana what
Makes Manhoou great.
They melted meath that living gaze
His in whose spirits gusty blaze
We seem to hear
The cracking of their phantom bays
Sapless and sere!
Once more had bloomed immortal worth
There, In the strong. splenetic North,
The Spring began.
A mighty mother had brought forth
A mighty man.
No Virgin veil from life he tore:
His soul no bright insignia wore
OF starry birth:
He saw what ali men see.-no more
In heaven and earth.
All darkness opes one flaming eve.
So fiery clear
Did the old truths that we pass by
To him anpear.
As feel the airiest phantnm touch
Keenlier than others feel the clutch
OF iron poWers-
Who die of having lived so much
in their large hours?
Who, from his hapless frailties free.
Rich in the poorer virtues. see
His faults alone
To such. O Lord of Charity.
Be mercy shoWni
The meanly wise. the feebly good:
He pelted them with pearl, with mud:
He fought them we'll
But ah, the stupid million stood.
And he--he fell!
