SACRED BEAUTY.


o Death. thou dark-veiled priestesl
OF the dead,
With frosted lilies thou dldst bind
his head
And close the starry wonders Of his
eyes
In frozen beauty like a flower he
lies.
His hand IL cold, his silver Tyre
unstrung,
Whereon Aeohan zephyrs oft had
flung
Acacia-scented music to the night,
Like strains immortal from the
realms of light.
The rose has fled from his pale lips
and wan;
flushed is the voice, sweet as the
night birds song.
fuse
A glory such as dying suns diffuse
In pure ablution weeping Nature
shed
Her dews of liquid sorrow for the
dead;
The sylvan forests sighed upon the
breeze
And wild, west winds walled DER the
coral seas.
The lotus-blooms that opened at the
dawn
From rose and snowy censers waft
their balm
To him who in a dewy slumber lies
AS silent as star-gleam from the
skies.
Day knelt and all her sunbeams
dropped their gold,
And softened shadows bowed the
wood and void;
The mountain temples melt their
crystal SHOWS
For him whose heart was purer than
the rose.
And Night took off her coronal OF
stars
And flung a mourning veil across
UuelT DdIS
OF silver light, and mourned as did
the Day
A sacred beauty vanishing away.
In love and reverence, 10! an angel
bends
And to his loveliness her radiance
lends;
His soul is supplied in immortal
light
And young and beautiful it winged
its flight.
o soul transcendent! whittier hast
thou gone?
Back to the burning fountain where
the dawn
Eternal breaks and where His love
doth pierce
Infinity and light the universe.

Thick cords of satin, linen, silk, or
