Wliere are tliey ? With the years beyond the flood; It is the signal that demands despatch : How much is to be done ! my hopes and fears Look down—on what ? A fathomless abyss. A dread eternity! how surely mine! And can eternity belong to me, Poor pensioner on the boujuies o( an hour ?. EPWIN BUCKINGHAM, DIED 1833, 86. 23 134. WILLOW AVENUE. Rest, Loved One, rest— beneath the billows swell,AVhere tongue neer spoke, where sunlight never fell;Rest—till the God who gave thee to the deep,Rouse thee, triumphant, from the long, long you, whose hearts are bleeding, who deploreThat ye must see your Edwins face no more,AVeep—lie was worthy of the purest grief;Weep—in .such .sorrow ye shall find relief;While oer his doom, the bitter tear ye shed,Memory shall trace the virtues of the dead ;These cannot die ! for you, for him, they scatter fragrance round his ocean-tomb.
