WEARY.
Oh, me! the sight is sad and dreary,
Mournful fills the misty rain;
Like a soul that is weal
Moaning in its lonely pain,
Sighs the cold wind throughout the forest
Answering to the mournful rain,
Telling tales of sad grief and unrest,
Such as fill the human-brain.
Alt, me! my seals sad and drea y,
Like the dark s the dismal night,
Of th;s coblearth I am weary,
Weary of its:chill and blight; •
Within my soul forebodings linger,
Darkness hath its pall o'ercast;
Ohl' Time, with unrelenting finger,
E'er points to my lowly past.
In that lone past what scenes of sorr3w,
Shed their blackness o'er my way,
Until I sighed that the to-morrow
Might from earth bear me away.
Alt, me! my life hath been full dreary,
But one scene of deepest gloom,
But there'e rest tor the weak and Weary,
In the dark and_yawning tomb.
