Earth I Thou, whose bright wonders I have oft explored ; Weep for me Heaven ! to whose proud heights has soared, E'en from its birth, My strong-winged spirit in its might alone ; Lo ! he who gave new worlds now dies unwept, unknown. THE VOICE OF PRAISE. BY MISS MITFORD. Thrre is a voice of magic power To charm the old, dehglit the young — In lordly hall, in rustic bower, In every clime, in every tongue, Howe'er its sweet vibration nmg, In whispers low, in poet's lays. There lives not one who ha...s not hung Enraptured on the voice of praise. The timid child, at that soft voice. Lifts for a moment's space the eye ; It bids the fluttering heart rejoice, And stays the step prepared to fly : 'T is pleasure breathes that short, quick sigh, And flushes o'er that rosy face ; Whilst shame and infant modesty Shrink back with hesitating grace. The lovely maiden's dimpled cheek At that sweet voice still deeper glows ; Her quivering lips in vain would seek To hide the bliss her eyes disclose ; The charm her sweet confusion shows Oft springs from some low broken word : O praise !
