[blocks in formation]

No breeze there was to stir the leaves;
No bolts that tempests launch,
To rend the trunk or rugged bark;

No gale to bend the branch;

No quake of earth to heave the roots,

That stood so stiff and staunch.

Sept.-VOL. LXVI. NO. CCLXI.

B

No bird was preening up aloft,
To rustle with its wing;

No squirrel, in its sport or fear,
From bough to bough to spring;
The solid bole

Had ne'er a hole

To hide a living thing!

No scooping hollow cell to lodge
A furtive beast or fowl,

The martin, bat,

Or forest cat

That nightly loves to prowl, Nor ivy nook so apt to shroud The moping, snoring owl.

But still the sound was in my ear,

A sad and solemn sound,

That sometimes murmur'd overhead,

And sometimes underground'Twas in a shady Avenue

Where lofty Elms abound.

O hath the Dryad still a tongue
In this ungenial clime?
Have Sylvan Spirits still a voice
As in the classic prime-
To make the forest voluble,
As in the olden time?

The olden time is dead and gone;
Its years have fill'd their sum-
And e'en in Greece-her native Greece-
The Sylvan Nymph is dumb-
From ash, and beech, and aged oak,

No classic whispers come.

From Poplar, Pine, and drooping Birch,

And fragrant Linden Trees;

No living sound

E'er hovers round,

Unless the vagrant breeze,

The music of the merry bird,

Or hum of busy bees.
