A joy too great and a grief too keen,

A dream too brief, too sordid, too mean, A song, a wail, and a silence !-Wine ! More wine, hola! gossip mine!

MISCELLANEOUS POEMS.

A WOMAN'S EXECUTION.

(Paris, 1871.)

SWEET-BREATHED and young,
The people's daughter,

No nerves unstrung,

Going to slaughter!

II

'Good morning, friends,

You'll love us better,

Make us amends;

We've burst your fetter !

III

'How the sun gleams!
(Women are snarling):

Give me your beams,
Liberty's darling!
