1809. Dreams. BY MART A. 1XVERMOEE. I dreamed, life lay a sunlit path.

Besprent with flowers ot rainbow dyes; Music thrilled all the listening air, And oer me him? cerulean skies. Soft breezes fanned mc with their wings Coolness came up from crystal ttiif w.tii man uie Drint lanu or inv voun reams. But as I gassed, the sun grew dim. Forth from the clouds the thunder broke. A storm swooped down from out the Groping in darkness, I awoke.

No more I see a sunnv wav. With flowers and greenness all oer- spreaa; Eooffh and uneven is the track. And leading downward to the dead. I dreamed again; and now came Hope, An artist of divinest birth. And sketched the future o'er and o'er, In colors all too briffht for earth.

And Friendship bound me fast and close 10 Hearts that throbbeU against my own. Ah what if weary were the way, 00 now i journeyea nos aione 1 But from my arms they fell away; Some, wearied of the love I gave, And some, a-wearv of the way, Sank heavily within the grave. And the dear artist of that hour, His pictures shine on me no mom i Their hues were faded ionjf ago, 1 see tnem not that uream is o'er: Then came the sweetest dream of all We two walked lovingly alone, When Io, the sound of little feet Pattered alonsr beside our own 1 I held the child with jealous love The hunger of my heart was stilled '0 I cried, "what, what am If mat tnus with joy my cup is hlledl" 'I'll smooth for thee the flinty way, 1 said! "it shall nnt hmiM thv dA- I'll shield thee from the tempest's power, A ho from the noon-tide's torrid heat." But while I spake, athwart our path, a pair 01 strong wince pinions gleamed. Once more we two walked on alone My child was not 110 more I dreamed. Now do I dream Afar, afar, There lies a green and sunny shore; A glory bathes that land and sky, Transcendiinr all I saw of vore.

Sometimes the mists that hang between A moment lift their fleecv veil, nd then I see that land of licht. By which the noon-day waxcth pale, And there the friends who from mv arms Fell into those of death awav. Await my coming o'er the flood ijutiooking lor me night and day. And there heart, forsret thv nain. eves, forbear vour weenimr niw 1 or inre, 1 fee my rauiant child.
