os EVENING STAR. . [From the Louisville Journal. THE MOCKING-BIRD. Inscritedto SAS. BY THE REV. T HEMPSTEAD, The morn comes ast up the sky, And dancing o’er ‘dal earth. Whose woods and streams beneath her eye, Leap upward to a glorious birth, A second youth of life and song As rich and fair as when along Creation’s morning hills peal’d out aa hymna, the boundless shout, from the lips of spotless ones— Jehovah’s crown’d and radiant Sons. From out the alder ch: the wren, idge wi the glen, Up floats a gush of laugther gay, From childen at their early piay, Where the thick woodbine’s odcrous torch Gleams etry the planter’s shaded porch, And the bold King bird’s angry cry Jars, like a battle trumpet ays But who is be that all night long “Has rd bis silvery music-storm, And with the glory of bis song Made the deed heart of repre Nor through morning’s gil On reof and field and woodland blaze, orgets inst the dawn to pour The ‘wealth cf his exbaustless lore ” the deep ard boly night, gt codemcn mother of the stars, Whilst o’er the wall, in haunted light, ‘The sad moon slants her pallid bars ; On, then a wid ard sudden strain Comes like a cloud of golden rain— So strangely sweet and wild a tone Steals on the midoight dim and lone, So sweetly clear its zecents come Across the still night’s drowsy ginom, 1 deem some angel form hath stray’d Earthward from courts that shine of high, Once more to wal\ the fragrant shade, And link again the earth and sky. Thou. from whose all-creating hand, On lifeless space, each rushing world, To roli amidst the shining band, U creation’s morn, was hurl’d. And whose mysterious tender sway, Still guides it on its radiant way Give me to fear thet plastic skill, Which grants to earth’s most lovely things, ‘The glorious garb, the potent skill, Unoought by all the pomp of kings— Which gives to one the wreath and crown, To one, Diaster’s iron frown, ¢ And with e wild-bird’sgusbirg bill, ‘The boast of human art can still, And drown the lyre and sha:re the lute, And make the billowy organ mute. Perched on yon topmost. glittering thorn, Bright leader of the choiring throng, His heart against the cheek of morn, Exults the hero of my song ; His dark eye dasping In the sun, From swelling throat and am orous bill, The music tides leap up and run In clarion wave and lisping rill— O, nota love-chant e’er was sung, And not a lay was ever rung From roof or bough, by airy tongue— O. not a trem>ling note or strain Along the summer gale is roll’d, But, tangled in that wondrous brain, Is stored like sands of native gold, To be, from his green, dewy throne, In rippling mirth or anthem tone, Pour’ forth to quiver, burn, and die Along the lonely, listening sky. And brighter glow the iden’s And cnildrencilap their hands to hear Such wi'd, imperial melodies As well might suit a sinless sphere, Exulting with an airy bound, Astired of earth’s familiar ground, Like some sweet thought, on fan like wings, He toward the glittering welkin springs, ‘There hangs like a melodious cloud, ‘The shower and musio’s pearly shroud, ‘Then beckward to his perch, that bends Beneath his regal feet, descends Asif, with jov’sdeep vintage drunk, He to his earthly bower had sunk. Thus newly perch’d be sings and sing-, And round hfs breezy challenge flings, And forth his tuneful discord rings From quick to slow, from gay to grave, With wave succeeding golden wave; Now from the tall oak’s topmost bough He pours his silver rain, and now From sloping roof or earden pale, W ith sweetness falls the lingering gale, Now o’er the furrowed fields afar, Curves downward like a shooting star, That from its pathway backward pours An anthem towards the heavenly shores; Now on the lowly cotton crest His bread and gleaming pinons rest, And shaking with bis dappled plumes The gold-dust from tts yellow blooms, With rosy storm and diamond shower. To silence charms the noonday hour All spirits of sweet sound that dwell in the soft flute’s melodious cell, And all the lute-like tones that sleep Far in the wildwood, dark and d- er. The blue. bird’s chirp, the noisy wren, The pernitae fete from the glen, ‘The martin calling from the eaves, The red-nird from bis bower of leaves, ‘The lar& that toward bis nestlings pours ing. be sunward soars— breathe and burn within thy lay, lid warbler on the Southern spray ; And crown thee first of tunefal throngs, Bird of the thousand silver songs ' Minven, La “ARRIVALS AT PRINCIPAL HOTELS.
