Again 1 wander through each room,
That so intensely quiet seems—
So like it eonaUut .Sabbath day ,
And still they lmve no air of gloom,
Though many sounds once there, like dreams,
Of lata lmve passed uway
In sober tones 1 hear them speak,
Whose glee was tamed iu life's young morn .
Upon the floor 1 hear their trend ;
And then 1 sec the blooming cheek
Of the.Inst. (lower, the youngest, born—

I hoar tho low and lulling tone
That dwclletili in the old pine tree—
A moan—wlien'or tlm wind is high .
And sitting on tho llircshold-stono,
I hear the song of bird and bee.
Just as iu time gono by.
I sec the crock that brightly goes—
Meandering Tnid tho reedy grass—
An if by some wild fairy led ,
