The Buried Flower-
BY FROFESSOK AVTOUN, EDITOR OF BLACKWOOlt's
MAGAZINE.
In the silence of my chamber,
When the night is still.and deep,
And the drowsy heave of ocean
Mutters in its charmed sleeep,
Oft I hear the angel voices
That have thrilled me long ago—
Voices of my lost companion
Lying deep beneath j
Where are now I
Withered, broken
Where are n
Scattered I
Not many weeks aim
of invalids led Goliad-to test I
qualities of some newly discovered
joining county.'
No waving g^ass nor blushing flowers met
the eye—no smiling fields of bountiful bar-
vest to reward the anxious toil of the hus-
bandman and relieve the tedium of the
way. but a scorching steam from the parch- de_]in!n, health;

And I watch thee ever fondly,

With the mute and humble homago
Of the Indian to a star.
Oh, ye words that sound so hollow

What are ye but empty echoes
Of a passion crushed and gone?

And I know 'tis vain to weep—

Buds were blowing, wstera flowing,
Birds were singing on the tree,
Everything was bright and glowing,
When the angels came for thee.
Hardly had the mountain violet
Spread its blossoms on the sod,
Ere they laid ihe turf above thee,
And thy spirit rose to God.
Brighter, hirer far than living,
With no trace of woe or pain,
Bobed in everlasting beauty,
Shall I see the once again.
By the light that never fadeth
Underneath eternal skies,
When the dawn of resurrection
