A VIOLIN.

A VIOLIN.

Dark night and storm and passioned breakci’s’ din, The sea-birds’ note, the vastness ot the tide And softest winds that through the forest sighed Are with this fibre strangely woven nt. The organ tones of surge and sea

nogin AVithin this niyst’c temple, sanctified By all the vanished years that, ere they died. Had hid their sweetness in a violin. .

Some day tlie buried music shall be found AVhcn master hinds awake the sleeping voice

To some great tong that in crescendo

ring£, And thu.s. as silence changed to rapturous sound My wakened heart must evermore rejoice Because thy fingers touched the h;dden strings.
