A maiden knelt by herl(Wer's
• A maid of sylph-like form ; •
= Evemng had come, deep was the gloom,
Pealed on her ear the loud thunder's boofo,
And rOund•her howled the:atorm;
Rude was the ).)last
Tivtt . hurried 'past,
f3hoWer.eloods streamed, (.\,
. Red lightnings gleamed.„ •-• I.
And round her hoWled the storm. ;. '
Yet heedeth she not the storm-god's wrath,
Sweeping o'er hill and lea; •
Borrow sho hath, dark is her path,
tlffate's behest, she has felt the seath,
A loce-torn maid is she;
Sad and alone -
She lifeathes her moan ;
lier heart most not know
• - Iktthrall of woe— ,
A loyi.lorn maid is she.
Bat Itst!iher voice goes ferth on the gale,
InArge.like tones and shrill;
With Oeeks nil pile, she-pours her wail,
And-: - itattning, eyes tell a mournful tale,
Iler-hltrt is sad and chill ;
Asagels of love,.
• W6.ep from above,,
°ger her woes;
AVthis lay flows
From heavy heart and chill
Ah! sad is my spirit,
For bright hopes have fled, •
My .heart's dearest treasure, '
Now sleeps with the dead ; •
- And oh, that beside him,
This w3sting, form lay ! •
Bereft of his . presenee,
1 wish not to stay, , , •.•
IkVhere alrs'sad and.dreary,
Where sympathy sleePs .
• , And wakes lint to.pity,.
• When th' broken heart weeps.'
. I well do remember, - .
One sweet summer's eve,
Togethi;r we wandered, •
Bright ineies tO. weave ;
' . We.spoke of the future,
Flew Swictly s the hours,
Our untrodden pathway
Strewed we with. flowers,
Nder dreaminr, that sorrow,
• .—So perfect our joy—
Its arrow: would hurtle,
Such bliss to destroy. , •
-But soon those vain dreamings,
• Were doomed to decay,
For the angel of death,
. Bore Arther Arther nvt-ay ;
All ! sad, then, and lonely,
I nourished my grief,
Refused consolation,
• And spurned all relief:
For my lone heart had broken, _
• • its fountains were dry, •
• And oft prayed, in anguish, .
To God I.might die.. • .
• cheeks, once sq rosy, -.
Assumed a pale hue,
Yet the debth of my sorrow,•
No friend ever knew;.
' For the laugh tuny ring gaily; .
An face wear aismile,
When the b'eart is breaking
. And bleeding, the while, •
Bat why should I-murmur ?
Of fortune complain? .
With rapture exquisite .
meet him again,
.In yortbright
. • The home of the blest, ;
Where,fiee from •altsorrovr,
The weary may rest;
• Where grim disappointment,
His chalice ne'er fills,
And, fiendishly, offers, `•
' A potion.of ills. •. `
This thought, how transporting,
I long for the skies, •
Where anthems celestial,
Unceasingly rise,
Where bonds of affection,
Transcendently pare,
never be broken,
"fint always endure..
Then come, death, kind angel,
Speed qnickly thy dart, •
Its flight be unerring, •
I fain would depart; • •
Woe's cup I've quaffed deeply,
•.. Am weary of earth, .
And sigh for the raptiares _
. Of Heavenly birtl ;
And when froth thii temple
• Of animate clay, : •
• The light, that illumedit, •
•
Has vanished away ; •
W hen' the clogs of the valley
Are.henped om my breast, •
.Besidehim I sorrow,
Oh. grant me to. rest,
Till—angels attending— • .
