Perfect pearls of poetry and prose; the most unique, touching, inspiring and beautiful literary . hat mansion used to beFree-hearted Hospitality;His great fires up the chimney roared ;The stranger feasted at his board ;But, like the skeleton at the warning timepiece never ceased, Forever—never! Never—forever ! There groups of merry children played;There youths and maidens dreaming strayed ;Oh, precious hours ! oh, golden primeAnd affluence of love and time!Even as a miser counts his gold,Those hours the ancient timepiece told,— Forever—never !Never—forever! From that chamber, clothed in white,The bride came forth on her wedding night;There, in that silent robm below,The dead lay, in his shroud of snow ;And, in the hush that followed the prayer,Was heard the old clock on the stair,— Forever—never ! Never—forever! All are scattered, now, and fled,—Some are married, some are dead :And when I ask, with throbs of pain, Ah ! when shall they all meet again fAs in the days long since gone by,The ancient timepiece makes reply, Forever—never ! Never—forever!. Never here, forever there, *Where all parting, pain, and careAnd death, and time shall disap pear,—Forever there, but never here!The horologue of EternitySayeth this incessantly, Forever—never ! Never—forever! 42 THE BLOOD HORSE. THE GRASSHOPPER KING.
