From Hirst’s Poems.
THE BURIAL OF EROS.
ove licth in his halls a corpse.
While, mourning round his coffin, stunt!
i’lie wan and pallid Feelings, like
Dim spectres from the Shadow-land.
His nose is pinrhutl, his lips are blue.
His once round cheeks are sunken and thin,
And heavily sleep his clotted locks
Along his yellow, waxen skin.
“ Poor Love, dear Love,” the mourners say,
“ ’Tis satl that one so young should die !
Poor Love, tlear laive ! Ah, dreary day
That seeth him in cold carih lie!”
11 He was a merry wight,” saith one ;
“ But fond of mischief,” sahh another;
“ And yet, despite his wayward ways,”
Quoth Hope, ‘‘ I loved him like a brother.
He used to laugh and chat with me
And seemed to live upon my smiles,
tN liilst 1 was heedless of his tricks.—
There was such magic in his wiles,
“ Poor Ixive, dear Ixive,” the mourners say,
“ Be was too good a lad to die !”
And then arose from every lip
A wild and weird anil wailing cry.
“ I never shall forgive, myself,”
Quoth Hope, “ that 1 forsook the hoy :
Had I remained, those sightless eyes
Would now be lit with life and joy.”
Qnoth Grief, “ no sooner had you gone
Than down he roine and R.at with me,
Crying anti sighing night and flay,
A very baby at my knee.”
11 P<>or Love, tlear Love,” the mourners say,
“ ’I was wrong in Hope to leave the boy !
Had she remained, this dreary day
Would be a day of golden joy.”
Then spoke Despair, from “ Grief he came
To me, his eyes agape and wild :
I bore him in and cherished him.
But soon a maniac grew the child ;
And then I took his quivering form
And on tny bosom made bis bed,
Nursing him with a mother’s love
Until he slumbered with the dead.”
“ Poor Love, dear Love,” the mourners say,
A weary vigil was Despair’s !
Iler’s wns the mother’s gentle watch,
And licr’s the mother’s gentle care.”
They screwed Love’s coffin cover down
With many a sigh and many a tear,
And placed him, heavily of heart,
Upon his plumed, ebon bier,
And ranging them in double lino,
(How tlitl the plumes and weepers wave !)
They bore him from his lonely home
And laid him in his silent grave,
Tht. bell is tolled—the mass is o’er—
The prayers arc said—the service dons—
And all aie gone, <-avc Hope, who weeps
By Love’s untimely tomb alone.
MARRIED,
On the l“2lli instant, in Camden County, North
Carolina, by the Hev. Doctor Foreben, Mr. Gbif
fith B. Grant, formerly of Washington, D. C.,
to Miss Mary Amanda Watts, of Portsmouth.
