Messenger of | mercy | still; 7 | |
Now 7| 7 ye | winds 7 | 7 pro | claim a | loud 7

Peace on earth, 7| 7 to | man 7 | good 7 | will.

Nature, | God's re | penting | child 7 |
See thy parent | | reconcil'd.| | |
Hark, 7 | | 7 the | nightingale | | 7 a | far, 7 ||
Sweetly | sings the | sun to | rest; 7 |

7 And a | wakes the | evening | star, 7|
7 In the | rosy | tinted | west3; 7|
While the | moon's en | chanting | eye, 7]
Opens | Paradise | 7 on | high. 7| |
Clear and | tranquil | 7 is the | night, 7|
Nature's | sore af | flictions | cease; 7
7 And the storm that | bent its | might, 7 |
Has a | covenant | 7 of | peace. 7| | |
Vengeance | drops her | harmless | rod, 7|
Mercy 7 is the | power of | God. 7| | |

LUCY.

WORDSWORTH.

Three 7 | years 7 | 7 she | grew, 7| 7 in | sun and f shower, | |

Then 7 | nature | said, 7| 7 "a | lovelier | flower 7 On | earth 7| 7 was | never | sown; 7| | This 7 | child 7 | I to my | self 7 | 7 will | take; 7 | | She shall be | mine; 7 | | and I will | make 7 7 A | lady | 7 of my | own. 7 ||

7 "My | self 7 | will to my | darling | | be, 7 [ 7 Both | law and | impulse: | |7 and with | me 7 |

7 The | girl 7| 7 in | rock 7| 7 and | plain, 7| 7 In | earth and | heaven, | 7 in | glade and bow

er, |

7 Shall | feel 7 | 7 an | over | seeing | power |

7 To | kindle | 7 and re | strain. 7| | |

"She shall be | sportive | 7 as the | fawn, 7|

7 That | wild with | glee 7| 7a | cross the | lawn 7 |

7 Or | up the | mountain | | springs; 7|

[ocr errors]

7 And | her's 7 | 7 shall | be the | breathing | balm,

7

7 And | her's 7 | 7 the | silence | 7 and the | calm 7 |

7 Of | mute in | sensate | things. 7| |

|

7 "The | floating | clouds 7| 7 their | state shall |

lend 7 |

7 To her; 7| |7 for her 7 | 7 the | willow | bend; 7|

| Nor shall she | fail to | see; 7 |

Even in the motions | 7 of the | storm 7 |

Grace 77 that shall | mould 7| 7 the | maiden's |

form, 7

7 By | silent | sympathy. | |

| 7 "The | stars of | midnight | 7 shall be | dear 7|

7 To | her: 7| | and she shall | lean her | ear 7 | 7 In many a | secret | place, 7 |

7 Where | rivulets | dance their | wayward | round, 7

7 And | beauty, | | born of | murmuring | sound, 7 7 Shall | pass 7 | into her | face. 7| | | 7" And | vital | feelings of de | light 7 |. 7 Shall | rear her | form 7| 7 to | stately | height; 7

| 7 Her | virgin | bosom | swell; 7| | Such 7 thoughts 7 | 7 to | Lucy | 7 I will | give, 7

7 While | she and | 17| 7 to | gether | live 7 |

Here 7 | 7 in this | happy | dell. 7| | |

Thus 7 | Nature | spake. 7| |7 The | work 7|7

was done. 7 | | |

How 7 | soon 7|7 my | Lucy's | race 77 was |

run! 7| |

7 She | died, 7|

7 and | left to | me 7 |

7 This | heath, 7| 7 this | calm and | quiet | scene;

7|

| 7 The | memory of | what 7 | has 7| been, 7|
| 7 And | never | more 7 | will 7 | be. 7||

Night 7 wanes, 7| 7 the | vapours | round the | mountains | curl'd, 7 |

Melt into | morn, 7| |7 and | light a | wakes the | world; 7| |

Man 7 | 7 has an | other | day 7| 7 to | swell the | past, 7| |

7 And | lead him | near to | little: | 7 but his [ last. 7

7 But | mighty | Nature, | | bounds 7| 7 as from her | birth, 7||

7 The | sun 7 | 7 is in the | heavens, | 7 and | life on

[blocks in formation]

7 Im | mortal | man, 7| | 7 be | hold her | glories | shine, 7 |

7 And | cry, 7| 7 ex | ulting | inly, | | "they are | thine!" 7|

||

Gaze 7 on, 77 while | yet thy | gladden'd | eye 7

| may 7 | see; 7|

7A | morrow | comes, 7| | when they are | not for | thee: 7| |

7 And | grieve 7 | what 7 | may 7| 7 a | bove thy | senseless | bier, 7|

7 Nor | earth, 7|7 nor | sky, 7| 7 will | yield 7| 7 a single | tear; 7| |

7 Nor | cloud 7 | 7 shall | gather | more, 7| 7 nor | leaf 7 | 7 shall | fall, 7| |

7 Nor | gale 7 | breathe 7 | forth 7 | one 7 | sigh 7 |

7 for thee, 7| 7 for | all. 7 |

[ocr errors]

7 But creeping | things 7| 7 shall | revel | 7 in their | spoil, 7| |

7 And | fit thy | clay 7| 7 to | fertilize the | soil. 7

THE BATTLE OF WARSAW.

7 When | leagued op | pression | pour'd to | northern | wars, 7 |

7 Her | whisker'd | pandoors, | 7 and her | fierce 7 | 7 hus | sars, 7| |

Wav'd her | dread 7 | standard | 7 to the | breeze of | morn, 7 |

| Peal'd her | loud 7 | drum, 7| 7 and | twang'd her trumpet | horn; 7|

| 7 Tu | multuous | horror | | brooded | o'er her | van, 7|

7 Pre | saging | wrath, 7| 7 to | Poland, | |7 and to | man! 7|

||

Warsaw's | last 7 | champion, | 7 from her | height 77 sur | veyed, 7| |

Wide o'er the | fields, 7|7a| waste of | ruin | laid; 7| | |

017 | Heaven! | 7 he | cried, 7| 7 my | bleeding | country save!7|

| Is there no | hand on | high, 7| 7 to | shield the | brave? 7| |

What though de | struction | | sweep these | lovely | plains, 7

Rise, 7| fellow | men! 7| 7 our | country | | yet re | mains! 7 |
