SONNET.— THE POET'S WISH.
I often wish it had been willed by Fato I had with mmd more equable been born ; Not now witli baso desirea and passions torn,— Soaring anon on Seraph wings elato ; Now finding joy in Madnc s Mirth and Folly, Anon dopressod with heaviest Melancholy,— Till, sick at hoai I cn\ j happy morials Wiio never veihuro from Dcconun's portals, w ho o minds are placid as a quiel lauo, Where clouds of gloom but passing shadows mal:o ! E'en sunshine wore no blessing, if it were The horald of coming storm and thunderquake ; So Joy is joyless when the harbinger Oi dark Unrest that hovers in hor wako 1 J. L. Kelly.
