THE HOUSE OF DEATH.

Ir is thy wife! sweet husband, open, quick!
I am a weary wanderer footsore;

My very soul within me turneth sick,

To find thy granite gates are shut so sure And I without!-I am thy weary wife,— Travelling hitherward with painful feet Thro' light and dark a woful half of life

To seek thee HERE.-Thou said'st, We here should meet,

Describing all this place, even as thou past

From my cold arms into the colder night; And now, outweary and outworn at last,

Fainting, with feeble cry and failing sight,

Downfall'n my husband's marble house before; He hears me not, he sleeps,—then Death, undo the door!
