DIRGE IN CYMBELINE.

7 To | fair Fi | dele's | grassy | tomb, 7 | |

Soft 7 maids and | village | hinds 7| 7 shall | bring 7 |

Each 7 | opening | sweet, 7| 7 of | earliest | bloom, 7|

7 And | rifle | all 7| 7 the breathing | spring. 7

No 7 | wailing | ghost 7 | 7 shall | dare ap | pear, 7| 7 To | vex with | shrieks, 7| 7 this | quiet | grove; 7|

| 7 But | shepherd | lads as | semble | here ;7 | 7 And | melting | virgins | | own their | love. 7 |

No 7 | wither'd | witch 7| 7 shall | here be | seen, 7|

No 7 | goblins | lead their | nightly | crew; 7| | 7 The | female | fays 7 | 7 shall | haunt the | green, 7|

7 And | dress thy | grave 7| 7 with | pearly | dew. 7|||

7 The | red breast | oft, 7| 7 at | evening | hours 7 |

7 Shall | kindly | | lend his | little | aid 7 |

7 With | hoary | moss, 7 | 7 and | gather'd | flowers, 7 To | deck the | ground 7| 7 where | thou art | laid. 7| | |

7 When | howling | winds 7| 7 and | beating | rain 71

7 In | tempests | | shake thy | sylvan | cell; 7 7 Or | midst the | chace 77 on | every | plain, 7| 7 The | tender | thought 7| 7 on | thee shall | dwell; 7| | |

Each 7 | lonely | scene 7 | 7 shall | thee re | store, 7|

7 For | thee, 7| 7 the | tear 7| 7 be | duly | shed;

7

7 Be | lov'd, 7| 7 till | life 7 | 7 can | charm no | more; 7| |

7

7 And | mourn'd, 7 | 7 till | Pity's | self be | dead.

7 On | Linden | | when the | sun was | low, 7 |

7 All | bloodless | | lay the un | trodden | snow, 7 |

| 7 And | dark as | winter | 7 was the | flow 7 |

7 Of | Iser | rolling | rapidly. | | |
7 But | Linden | | saw an | other | sight 7 |

When the | drum 7 | beat 7 | 7 at | dead of night

7

7 Com | manding | fires of | death, 7| 7 to | light

7 The darkness | 7 of her | scenery. | 7 By | torch and | trumpet | | fast ar | ray'd, 7 | Each 7 | horseman | drew his | battle | blade, 7 | 7 And | furious | | every | charger | neighed 7 | 7 To | join the | dreadful | revelry. | | |

Then 7 | shook the | hills 7 | 7 with | thunder | riven, |

Then 7 | rush'd the | steed, 7| 7 to | battle | driven,

| And 7 | louder than the | bolts of | heaven, | | Far, 7| flash'd 7| 7 the | red 7| 7 ar | tillery. | | | 7 And | redder | yet 7| 7 those | fires shall | glow, 71

7 On | Linden's | hills of | blood-stain'd | snow, 7 |

7 And | darker | yet 7 | 7 shall | be the | flow, 7 |

7 of | Iser | rolling | rapidly. | ||

7 'Tis | morn; 7| | 7 but | scarce 7 | yon 7 | lurid

| sun 7 |

7 Can pierce the | war-clouds | rolling | dun; 7| |

7 Where | furious | Frank 7 | 7 and | fiery | Hun 7 | | Shout in their | sulphurous | canopy. | | | 7 The | combat | deepens. | | | On 7 | 7 ye | brave 71

7 Who | ruish to | glory | |7 or the | grave: 7|

Wave 7 | | Munich | | all thy | banners | wave; 7 7 And | charge 7 | 7 with | all 7| 7 thy | chivalry. |

Few 7 | few shall | part 7 | 7 where | many | meet 7

7 The | snow 7| 7 shall be their | winding | sheet; 7

7 And | every | turf 7 | 7 be | neath their | feet 7 | 7 Shall | be a | soldier's | sepulchre. | | |

THE THUNDER STORM.

BY MONTGOMERY.

O for | evening's | brownest | shade; 7|

1

| Where the | breezes | play 7| 7 by | stealth, 7 |

7 In the | forest- | cinctured | glade, 7 |

Round the | hermitage of | Health: 7| |

7 While the | noon-bright | mountains | blaze, 7 | 7 In the sun's tor | menting | rays: 7| | | O'er the | sick and | sultry | plains, 7 |

Through the | dim 7 | 7 de | lirious | air, 7 | | Agonizing | silence | reigns3; 7 ||

7 And the | wanness | 7 of des | pair. 7| | | Nature | faints 7 | 7 with | fervent | heat; 7| | Ah! 7| 7 her | pulse 7 | 7 has | ceas'd to | beat. 7 |

Now in | deep and | dreadful | gloom, 7|

Clouds on | clouds 7| 7 por | tentous | spread; 7

Black 7 | as if the ❘ day of | doom, 7 |

| |

Hung o'er | nature's | shrinking | head. 7| | | Lo, 7| 7 the | lightning | breaks from | high; 7 God is | coming | | God 7| 7 is | nigh. 7| Hear ye not | 7 his | chariot | wheels, 7 | 7 As the | mighty | thunder | rolls; 7 | Nature, | | startled | nature, |

| reels, 7|

7 From the | centre | 7 to the | poles. 7| | |

Tremble | ocean | earth 7| 7 and | sky. 7 |
Tremble, | | God 7| 7 is | passing | by. 7 |
Darkness | | wild with | horror | forms 7
His mysterious | hiding | place; 7| | |
Should he | 7 from his | ark of | storms 7 |

Rend the | veil 7 | 7 and | show his | face, 7 | |
7 At the judgment | 7 of his | eye 7 |
All the | universe | 7 would | die. 7| | |
Brighter | broader | lightnings | flash, 7|

Hail and | rain, 7| 7 tem | pestuous | fall, 7| | Louder | deeper | thunders | crash, 7 |

Deso | lation | threatens | all. 7|
Struggling | nature | gasps for | breath, 7 |
7 In the agony | 7 of | death. 7| |
God of vengeance | 7 from a | bove, 7|
While thine | awful | bolts are | hurled, 7 |

| 0, 7| 7 re | member | | thou 7| 7 art | love: 7

Spare, 70, spare 7|7a| guilty | world. 7

Stay thy | flaming | wrath a | while; 7 |
See thy | bow of | promise | smile. 7| | |
Welcome | 7 in the | Eastern | cloud 7 |
