For the ainner.
The al Gae
They'vo planted wil flowers o'er tier tonih,
The living o'er the dead !
The violet's witching soft perfule
Around her grave is shed
As emblemsof bright memory'" sway.
I seek the spnt, whcin the last blhsl
Of day is 0n the rose,
And o'er the wave a deeper flush
of burning crimion glows
And then I think how more than bri.eht,
Was her young slay when near its night!
I saw her come like morning dew
Iteflecting summers skies,
I1er cheek fluislil with aurora's iue,
Anti heaven was in her eye's,
And he' r bright treswes couhl have won,
No brighter beauty irom the sun.
Site wa'S with tme', asa dlream,
Of fairer worlis on high
Flashing, like a sItIliglt o'er a strenm,

I qaw her on the coneh of d
More lovely in deaLy ;
I'listened as h--tr Lt drawn breah,
Passed on the breeze aw.ty
Herspiritirft itstearthly iower
Calmly as itiuens leave.i the hloWr.
I cnil.1 tint weettp- couil.1 not wtee;
So tranquil litsi' her breath
Her eyei he-rin'd e!a' Iin gont le letep -
Not the du1tll sl1p of deati
H1er brow was still ai m-irble! fdr,
Anti on her cheek-tho ros.t W.LS ther'
Yen! that which thrmighs life's favor'd hour
Blssom'd bit to ht 'tray.
Dil not with life los. all its p:e;''r,
Nor psts'd in deadh away
No! still it gave its lovely blooni,
As though in tinking of the tomb.
Iut all i.i pass'd-that btqoom ne'er
Again shall tirub t- storr ow's sigh;
That brow nt'er be the meat of care,
No tear again buedew that eye
I will not weep that she's at rest,
Woul.I I were with such slumber bleFt.
