WHERE IS HE? Jfhn giveth ufi the Ghost, andmhere is he ? Job 5. And where is he ? not by the side Of her whose wants he loved to tend ; Kor o'er these valleys wand'ring wide, Where sweetly lost, he oft would wend ; That form beloved he marks no more. Those scenes admired no more shall see ; Those scenes are lovely as before, And she as fair but where is he ? No, no : the radiance is not dim, m That used to gild his favYite hill ; " . The pleasures that were dear to him, Are dear to life and nature still, VBut ah ! his home is not as fair, W Neglected must his garden be, The lilies droop and wither there. And seem to whisper where is he ? His was the pomp, the crowded hall. But where is now this proud display ? His riches, honors, pleasures, all. Desire could frame ; but where are they i And he, as some tall rock that stands Protected by the circling sea, Surrounded by admiring bands, Scem'd proudly strong and where is he.' The church yard bears an added stone, The fire side shows a vacant chair ; Here sadness dwells and weeps alone, And death displays her banner there ; X The life has gone, the breath has fled, r f 'v An(i what has been no more shall be : The well known form, the welcome tread, O where are they, and where is he umm :::otro::: mm
