VOL. XVI. 1 + —— LITERATURE, TEARS, IDLE TEARS. Tears, idle tears, | know not what they mean, Tears from the depth of some divine despair Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes, Ka looking on the Lappy Autumnu-fields, And thinking of the happy days that are no more. Fresh as the first beam glittering on the sail That brings our friends up from the underworld ; Sad as the last which reddens over one That sinks with all we love lelow the verge ; So ead, so fresh, the days tha: are vo more. Ah, sad and strange, as in dark summer dawns, The earliest pipe of bxlf-awakeved birds To dying ears, when unto dying eyes, The casement slowly glows « glimmering equare ; Se ead, so strange, the days t)at are no more. Dear as remembered kiases after death, Aud sweet as those by hopeless fancy feigned Qn lips that are for others; deep as love, Deep ase first love, and wild with all regret, Oh death iv Life, the dave that are no more SNOW-FLAKES. Out of the bosom of the air. Oat of the cloud of the folds of her bosom shaken, Over the woodland brown and bare, Over the harvest fields forsaken, Sileut and soft and alow Descends the snow. Even as our cloudy fancies take Suddenly shape in some divine expression, Eveu as the troubled heart doth make In the white countenance coufession, The troubled sky reveals The grief ix feels. This is the poem of the air, Slowly iu silent syllables recorded ; This ie the secret of despair, Long ia cloudy bosom hoaried, Now whispered and revealed, To wood and field. — ee - THE MANIAC DOCTOR.
