AmiT LIkSCLXTA. “And ever against eating rare?, Lap mo in soft Lydian aim.'’ • —Milton. Sweot songstress of the golden hours That cheered a darkness lonely. Must leave me here ’mid silent bowers, A prey to sadness only. The bounty of thy melody. As spell by sibyl spoken. Hath all restored a harmony By Fate too harshly broken. As perfume of a rose is shod The wilted pardon over. As cape on cape his own land’s spread To view of sea-worn rover. As green tree's shade on siin-pnrched And rippling waters’ gladness. As wine in drouth of heavy day. Impelling spirit’s sadness. Athwart a night of dreary gloom, As moonlight silv’iy streaming. So brake thy song on hapless doom, Its heaviness redeeming, U laid the harrier sense had known— Again the world was spacious ; U touched with haunting, melting tone. And gods and men were gracious! Beyond the hill thy song must fall For all its sweet endeavour. And vocal in another vale Thou’n lost to mo for oven. Could wedded be one thought of mine To those dear tones caressing. • And blent so in a strain divine. All woes of life redressing. The spheres among ’mid harmony. Beyond Time’s crumbling porta), With lilt .so sweet. how blest to bo In Vita’s song immortal! So doth thou leave me save for thrill Of tremulous emotion, And deeper sigh, when winds are still— Than heaves a lonely ocean. Farewell! 'Remembrance still still shall find A rapture known of yore— The song that charmed, in silence shrined. Heart-easing ever more! —Robert .1. BakoweU. ■\Vaitui, Anri! 28. UMo.
