TABLE OF FIRST LINES.

A cloud lay cradled near the setting sun,
Ah! when did wisdom covet length of days,

Ah me! these youthful bearers, robed in white,
All I feel, and hear, and see,

A mother's love-how sweet the name,

And is there care in heaven? and is there love,
And Rachel lies in Ephrath's land,

A Parish Priest was of the pilgrim train,
As the good shepherd leads his sheep,

Build'st thou on Wealth?-its wings are ever spread, 241

But who shall see the glorious day,

Child of the dust, I heard thee mourn,
Come, Disappointment, come!
Creature of air and light,

Dear is the hallow'd morn to me,
Dull Atheist! could a giddy dance,

Enthroned upon a hill of light,

Fallen is thy throne, O Israel,
Farewell, thou vase of splendor,

Go, take the wings of morn,

He who delights to trace, with serious thought,
How fair is the rose! what a beautiful flower,

How shall I know thee in the sphere which keeps,

How shall I praise thee, Lord of light?

How sweetly flow'd the Gospel's sound,

How sweet and solemn, all alone,
How wither'd, faded, seems the form,
Humility," said Lena, as she drew,

I am monarch of all I survey,
I dream'd:-I saw a rosy child,
If all our hopes and all our fears,

If human kindness meets return,
If I had Jubal's chorded shell,
If love, the noblest, purest, best,

If that high world, which lies beyond,

I had found out a sweet green spot,
I hear thee speak of a better land,
I love to muse, when none are nigh,

I love to see the falling leaf,

I love the organ's joyous swell,

I seek the mountain cleft: alone,
Is there a time when moments flow,
Is there a lone and dreary hour,
It is not that my lot is low,

It is the one true Light,

It must be sweet in childhood to give back,
It thunders! sons of dust, in reverence bow!
I will not sing a mortal's praise,

King of the world! I worship thee, .

Knell of departed years, .

Lord, who art merciful as well as just,

Look on him-through his dungeon grate,

Low in the dim and sultry west,

Methinks it is good to be here,

Mother, I am dying now,

My God, all nature owns thy sway,

My mother's voice! how often creep,

Nay, William, nay, not so; the changeful year,
No moon hung o'er the sleeping earth,
Now breathes the ruddy Morn around,

O, could the soul oppress'd with care,

O'er Kedron's stream, and Salem's height,
O fear not thou to die,

O God! whose thunder shakes the sky,

Oh mighty is the Lord of Hosts,

Oh! weep for those that wept by Babel's stream,
O, mingle with the widow's tears,

O most delightful hour by man,
O my soul, with all thy powers,
On yonder shore, on yonder shore,
-One adequate support, &c.,

O, the wrath of the Lord is a terrible thing!

O think that, while you're weeping here,

O thou whose lips can well repeat,

O Thou whom eye hath seen not-nor shall see,

O Thou Great Being! what thou art,

O! would you be assured you love your God,
