THE VISIONARY PORTRAIT.
From Mrs. Norton's new volume OF Poems.
AS by his lonely hearth ne safe,
The shadow OF d welcome dream
Passed DER his heart ;-dlsconsolaie


His home did seem;
Comfort in vain was spread around,
For something still was wanting found.
Therefore he thought of one who might
Fer ever in his presence stay;
Whose dream should be OF him by night,
Whose smile should be for him by day;
And the sweet vision, vague aud Tar,
Rose on his fancy like star.
" Let he, be young, yet not child,
Whose light and inexperienced mirth
Is all too winged and TOO wild


For sober earth
Too rainbow-like such mlrth appears.
And fades away In misty tears
"Lel Youths fresh rose still gently bloom
Upon her smooth and downy cheek
Ye, let a shadow, not of gloom,


But soft and meek,
Tell that some sorrow she hath known,
Though not sorrow OF her own.
" LIE, her be full Of quiet grace,


Not sparkling with sudden glow,
Bnghtni her purely chlseled face


And placid brow;
Not radiant to he strangers eye
A creature easily passed by;
F" But who, ono. seen, with untold power
Forever haunts the yearning hear',
Raised from the crowd that self-same hour


To dwell apart,
All sainted and enshrned TO be
The idol Of our memory.
81 And oh let Mary be her NAME
II hath sweet and gentle sound
A, which no glorles dear TO fame


Come crowdlns round;
But which the dreaming heart begulles
With holy thoughts and household smiles.
Z" With peaceful meetings, welcomes kind,
And love, the same in Joy and tears,
And gushing intercourse OF mind


Through faithful years;
Oh, dream of something half divine,
Be real-be mortal-aud be mine."
