For The Tribune.
ruE HOME oFTHE LATEHEARTED.
Tur glory that reigned in those halls s past


And the beauty that strangers courts,
And deep are the shadows that grief hath cast


IN the home OF the Desolate- Hearted
The oJor Of towers Is on the air,
But noisome weeds are mingled there
The vines unframed on the earth repose'
The nettes o'ertop the bridal rose
The clematis sinks from its wonted place
And the lily is crushed in its long embrace;
The garlands tha, hung on those walls Of yore


With their beauty and bloom have departed;
And the wreathing OF blossoms is known no more
In the home of the pesoleic Hearted.
The dust is deep on the rich guitar
That wakened Of old liz music there;
The birds cit sadly with folded wing
The lutte lies bv with broken string,
And the air-narp that hangs on The old ella bough
In requiem wild is breathing now
For the festive song, and Inc joyous strain.


Ring not through those halls deserted;
And voices of mlrth will not wake again,


In the home of the D D;soaie-!Iea.ed.
The portraits that hang on the gslleys eide,
Ofthat kindred band long since that died
Are inward turned to The oaken wall,
For the gloomy memories they recall
And many landscape Of glowing hue,
By folded veil is hid from view


For why should the gadness of happier days
Whose light hath for aye departed,
Be ever outspread to the dreary gaze,


IN the home Of the Desolateiieartrd
palor comes over the maiden's bloom,
AS she crosselh the door Of that lonely home;
And children move with sof,ened tread,
And voices hushed TO Il tore OF dread;
And mirth sinks back from its wonted How
When the eye looks up on the brow of wo;
For the happy band that were gathered there


AT single stroke were parted;


And we ask no more for the young and fair,


In the home of the DesoIate- Hearted
