Poets Corner.
SACRED MELODY, BY MOORE. Ii it Dot sweet to think hereafter When the spirit leaves this sphere, Love with deathless wings shall waft her” To those she long hath mourned for here ? Hearts from which ’twas death to sever, Eyes this world can ne'er restore, j There, as warn), as bright as ever, Shall meet us and be lost no more. When wearily we wander, asking Of earth and heaven, where are they Beneath whose smile we once lay basking. Blest and thinking bliss would stay,— Hope still lifts her radiant finger, Pointing tn the eternal home, Upon whose portal yet they linger, Looking back for us to oonie Alas, alas ! doth hop** deceive n« ? Shall friendship, love, —shall all those ties That bind a moment—and then leave its 3 “ Be found again where nothing dies ? Oil ! if no other boon were given To keep our hearts bom wrong and slain, Who would not try to win a heaven Where all we love shall Ifve again ?
