They came with griefs, and pains, and cares,-
All that the heart breaks while it bears.

Desolate as I feel alone,

I should not weep that thou art gone.
Alas! the tears that still will fall
Are selfish in their fond recall :-
If ever tears could win from Heaven
A loved one, and yet be forgiven,
Mine surely might. I may not tell
The agony of my farewell!

A single tear I had not shed,

'Twas the first time I mourned the dead ;-
It was my heaviest loss, my worst,-
My father!-and was thine the first!
Farewell! In my heart is a spot,
Where other griefs and cares come not,
Hallow'd by love, by memory kept,
And deeply honour'd, deeply wept.
My own dead father! time may bring,
Chance, change, upon his rainbow wing,
But never will thy name depart
The household god of thy child's heart,
Until thy orphan girl may share

The grave where her best feelings are.
Never, dear father, love can be

Like the dear love I had for thee!

Independent of "The Troubadour," a few miscellaneous poems are added, which have all the chaste luxuriance, and delicacy of feeling, that distinguishes this truly fascinating minstrel.

After the extracts we have made, we should consider any recommendation of our own at the least presumptuous and ineffectual: if poetry like that with which we have adorned our pages cannot meet with its admirers, we shall throw down our pens in despair, rather than attempt to inculcate a better taste.

THE WANDERING JEW.*

My punishment is greater than I can bear.Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth, and from thy face shall I be hid and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth.-GENESIS.

:

HUNDREDS of times has the earth been emptied of her people; hundreds of times has it been filled and emptied again. Thousands of times has Nature changed her countenance,-have her fields been exhausted and regenerated, and the children of her soil bloomed, fructified, and dropped from the tree of life, and yet I remain, undecaying and imperishable :-"O grave, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?" Over me ye have none; the curse of God lies withering on my brow, and yet consumes me not. I have seen my children, and my children's children--generations upon generations of my own bloodcome into life, spin through the measure of their years, and at last moulder in the dust. I remain as a pyramid in the desert, over which time has no power, and the breath of the whirlwind passes heedlessly away; yet, even that I am doomed to outlive. The past, the present, and the future, with me have no distinction-all are blended in one ;the strides of ages bring me not nearer eternity;—in a circle of misery I pace the wretched path of my existence, ever ending where I began. Cities crumble to dust, nations die away and are forgotten, empires pass away like meteors, and yet I exist without change. With me, nature has no connecting link; I am a thing set apart from the world, and yet doomed to dwell within it. With all the vain wishes and uncontrollable desires of mortality,-with all the misery of humanity, I am neither mortal nor human. Oh, ye heavens! whose breath fells the forest, the light of whose eyes levels the monuments of ages with the dust! why am I exempt from your wrath? In vain do I court the forked lightning, as it wings its rapid flight through the air,-in vain do I mock the thunder; it growls not for me,-it will not crush me. All life has an end; the plants of the fields return to their creating dust, the flowers perish, the rivers dry up, even the very worms die; but I live,-yea, have I not lived to see all that is dear to me drop away, one by one; and at last leave me, childless, friendless, and loveless the curse of God written on my forehead-a wanderer on the face of the earth? Oh, Earth! hide me. Oh, Hell! open wide your gates to receive me.

A. M. 4480.

Rome is fallen! The grass grows over the mistress of the world; the temple of God is shattered, and the beasts of the field, the toad, and the things obscene are crawling over its columns. The wind murmurs its hollow notes among the ruins, as through the dark branches of the cypress I catch the dying evidence of all that was once noble in nature and art. I revel on the scene before me, and roam like a ghost through the scenes of by-gone splendour. The halls of the mighty are the homes of the croaking ravens; the bats flit through

* It hardly need be said, that the above sketch is entirely imaginative, and that it is founded on the well-known tradition of our Saviour dooming a Jew, who had refused him shelter, to wander over the earth until the end of the world.
