goet's Ccrua. ( THE STREAM THAT HURRIES BY. An unpublished poem, by the fluthor of The Collegians." The stream that hurries by yon fixed shore Returns no more The wind that dries at morn yon dewy lawn Breathes, and is gone Those wither'd flow'rs to summer's ripening' glow No more shall blow Those fallen leaves that strew yon garden bed For aye are dead. Of laugh, of jest, of mirth, of pleasure past, Nothing shall last; On shore, on sea, on hill, on vale, on plain, Nought shall remain Of all for which poor mortals vainly mourn, Nought shall return Life has his hour in heav'n and earth beneath And so hath Death. Not all the chains that clank in eastern clime C:in fetter Time; For all the phials in the doctor's store Youth comes no more No drug on Age's wrinkle. 1 cheek renews a Life's early hues Not all the tears by pious mourners shed Can wake the dead. For all Spring gives, and Winter takes again, We grieve in vain Vainly for sunshine fled, and joys gone by, We heave the sigh*; <> On, ever on, with unexhausted breath, Time hastes to Death Even with each word we speak a moment flies, Is born and dies. If thus, through lesser Nature's empire wide Nothing abide, If wind, and wave, and leal', and sun, and flow'r Have each their hour,- He walks on ice whose dallying spirit clings To earthly things And he alone is wise whose well-taught love Is fixed above. Truths firm as bright, but oft to mortal ear Chilling and drear, Harsh as the raven's ercak the sounds that tell Of pleasure's knell Pray, reader, that at last the minstrel's strain Not all be vain And when thou bend'st to God the suppliant knee, Remember me. -Corn" illlrIagazine,
