let thy lowly child. Strong in his love of truth, be wisely bold — A patriot bard by sycophants reviled. Let him live usefully, and not die old ! Let poor men's children, pleased to read his lays. Love, for his sake, the scenes where he hath been ; And, when he ends his pilgrimage of dajrs. Let him be buried where the grass is green; Where .daisies, blooming earliest, linger late To hear the bee his busy note prolong, — There let him slumber, and in peace await The dawning mom, far from the sen...sual throng, Who scorn the wind-flower's blush, the redbreast's lonely song. E. Elliott. 353. THE LAND WHICH NO ONE KNOWS Dabk, deep, and cold the current flows Unto the sea where no wind blows. Seeking the land which no one knows. O'er its sad gloom still comes and goes The mingled wail of friends and foes. Borne to the land which no one knows. Why shrieks for help yon wretch, who goes With millions, from a world of woes. Unto the land which no one knows ? Though myriads go with him who goes.
