THE ARTIST'S STUDIO. The light came dim, but beautiful, through blinds Of the link'd jessamine, which woo'd the vine And far behind, like shadosry thunder clouds, Rose high but distant hills; and over all A soft and blue Italian sky,—the blue The lover worships in the maiden's eyes. And round the walls were pictures Some calm scenes of earth's green loveliness; But hung— Apart from all the rest, as if too dear For ought but solitude, was one-it was The portrait of a young and lovely girl. One sweet rose lay on her bosom. Ting'd with its bright promise of its future bloom And near it the young painter leant his head Over his check there was a burning red, Half passionate emotion, half disease. He was a stranger in fair Italy: He sought her kingdom, for it was a home For genius and for beauty; it had been His land of promise through his boy hood's dreams Oh, genius, fling aside thy starry crown, Close up thy rainbow wings, and on thy head Heap dust and uslies-for this drear world Is but thy prison-ho-ise. Alas for they Who waste their life, may those tine feelings live, That are the pointer's or the poet's Amid the many graves, which in the shade Of Home's dark cypresses, are graved with names Of foreign sound to Italy's sweet tongue, Was one,-an English name was oil the stone ;— There that young painter slept :-around the sod Were planted flowers and one or two green shrubs. 'Twas said that they were placed in fondness there By an Italian giil whom he had loved L.E.L.
