I lay upon a headland height, and listened To the incessant sobbing of the sea In caverns under me. And watched the waves, that tossed and fled and glistened, Until the rolling meadows of amethyst And melted away in the mist. Then suddenly, as ouo from sleep, I started’ For round about me all the sunny oapep Seemed peopled will, tho shapes Of those whom I had known in days departed. Appareled with tne loveliness which gleams On faces seen in dreams. A moment only, and tho light and glory, Faded away, and tho disconsolate shore Stood lonely as before; And the wild roses ot the promontory Around me shuddered in the wind, and shed Their petals of pale red. There was an o la belief that inthe embers heir primordial form et id cunning alchemists Could recreate the rose with all its members From, its own. ashes, but wituout its bloom, Without the least perfume. Ah, mel what wonder-working, oooult soienoo Can, from the ashes of oilr hearts, once more The rose of youth restore? What craft of alchemy can bid defiance To time and olmuge, a nd for a single hour K oub W this phantom-llower? ‘‘Oh, give me hack,” I cried, ” iUe vanished splendors, The breath of morn, and the exultant strife, When the swift stream of life B .unds o’er its roony ob.iuuel, and surrender The pond, with all its lillies’for the leap And the sea answered, with a lamentation. Like some old prophet wailing,mud it said; “Alas! thy youth is dead! It breathes no more, its heart has no pulsation, In the dark pl.ces with the dead of old It lies forever cold!” Then said I;“ From its consecrated cerements f a’ill not drag this sacred crust again, ® Only to give me pain; Butstili rememberi\g all the lost endearments, Uo on my way, like one who looks beforu’ . And turns to weep no moro'” l ife what lands of harvests, what plantations Bright with autumnal foliage and the glow Of sunsets burning low; Bene.ith wh.at miduight skies, whose oonstel. lalions Light u p tho spacious avenues between This world and the unseen? Amid what friendly greetings and caresses, What households, though not alien, yet not W hat bDwers of rest divine; To what temptations in lone wildernesses, What famine of the heart, what pain and loss, The bearing of what cross? I do not know, nor will I vainly question Those pages of the mystic book which hold The story still untold. But without rash conjecture, or suggestion Turn its leaves in reverence and good heed, Untll^b'i’nE ehd ” I read.
