(Oft when the sunnlongtht west
His farewell splendor throws
Imnartinsr to the wounded breast
j 'rIC spirit of repose;
... r
Afy'mind reverts to former scenes
To joys of other days
When love illumin'd all my dreams
And hope inspired my lays.
I would not for the world forge t'
When oft at eveAde "
The 'ri of 'oVe I sol.v sWoP
To her my beauteous bride
Whose sighs fc pearly tears proclaimed
The triumph of myart
And plainly told the minstrel reign'd
The monarch of her heart.
Enrich'd with every mental grace
And every mera! gem
She shone amang her own bright race
A heavenly diadem;
So luminous with love and lore
So little dlm'd by shade
Her Jieauty threw a light before
Her footsteps as she straved.
But all the loveliness that pJavM
Around her onte bath fled;
She sleepcth in the valley's shade
A. dweller with the dead;
nd I am here with ruin'd mind "
Left fingering on the stnnd
To throw my music to the wind
.My tears upon the sand.
Tgrice to think she hears no more
Tho songs she loved so well;
That all the strains I now may pour
Of evenings in the dell
Must float unheard must fall to her
As noiselessly as tiipp
Unheeded as the dewy tear
That nature weeps with mine.
OVTTlfiou canst thy" slumbers break"
Thou dear departed one
Now at thy minstrel's call awake
And smile upon his song;
The last perchance his failing harp
May oVr these waters send
The last before with breaking heart
Ills songs and sorrows end.
I fain would let thcelcnow blest shade
Theugh years have sadly flown
My love with time hath not deeay'd.
My heart is still thine own
And thine shall be 'till life shall set.
Thro' weal and wo the same
As ardent as when first we met
Until we meet again.
If I have sought the festnl hall
My sorrows to beguile
Or struck my harp at ladys call-
in praise of beautys smile;
O still thou didst my thoughts control
Amidst the shining thron
Thou wert the idol of my soul
The spirit of ray song.
Take fake ye light and laughing maids
.My free and careless rhyme
The minstrel's heartthe minstrrj'ah'eart t
It never can be thine;
The music of my song may be.
To living beauty she-j
But all the love that Vems the strain
I mean it for the r'.ead. - Z.
