A Poem, read at the Convocation of Trinity College, Toronto, on the 18th U(""eiulxT, 1862 ;

to which was awarded the Pri/.e for English Verse, presented hy the

Archdeacon of York.

'«0A .' dtaih in life, the days that are no more ! '

The wave of life bore high its creoted top ;
Then Bank, and fell into b lower deep,
And passed away, and left an azare calm.
The winds of Heaven raised the sands of Time,
And formed a monument, a mighty Fame,
A glorious city, strongest of tho earth ;
And then these blasts rushed on, and hurled

it down.
And 'neath the acnds of Time it lay concealed.

Before the weary feet of Israel
Trod the hot sands that bound their promised

rest,
Petra was seated, rock-tbroned as a queen.
And now when I^rael'd sole can find no rest,
Petra rock-buried is no more a queen,
Is bat a name, r shadow of the past
Left by God's light upon the mountain side.
Power sought a home, and hovered o'er her

vale.
And built an eyry on the hanging cliff
Commerce brought sea-worn, and brown-
dusted men
Over the billows of cerulean depths.
And o'er the wavr'ltiss seas of Araby,
To wreathe a golden crown for Petra's brow.
And pour their j ^weis at her sandalled feet.
The busy sounds of hirdy labour rose.
When rose the song cf early-singing bird;
And when blue nfght put forth her dewy lamps
The voice of tuneful mirth was heard around.
Art came and smiled on Toil ; and Beauty grew
Amid their homes, unnoticed ; as a child
That plays unheeded in the house he glads.
Here, first, welled forth the crystal stream

that bathes
In glowing power the reason of the world.
And underatanding gleamed within their eyes
Pomp had its throne, proud pageants swelled

their hearts,
And victory clothed with fame their mighty

Kings.
The proudest blossom on the bush of Time,
A full-blown rose, it bloomed in crimson pride,
And centred on itself the praise of men,
And scorned the root and sap which gave it

being,
And where is now that rose ? Set ntless and

dead,

It's withered leaves lie scat >cred on the ground;

I For Go(' ath sprken, and the proud are low.

j Blank ruin calls to the pa^t, and solitude
Wakens a death-like echo. The sad air
Breathes but of death. The heavy, storm-
born cloud

> Of wrath has hung low in the burdened sky ;

; As hangs the \, eath of gloim above the burnt,

[ And blackened ground where once a city stood.

' The sculptured homes of livicg and of dead,
Beft of their tenants by the hand cf Time !
A lifeless statute of the life tha' was,

i Blacked with the dust and cobwobs of aecay !

I An empty nest that once was sweet with song !

I The homes where lo ire let in the summer sun ;

' The homes which hate made dark with winter s
gloom ;

j The cot where bright- eyed hunger was at

' home ;
The gold-built castle where her kings were fed;

, The hallowed temple where her gods were

I praised :

{'All — are the homes of dragonc and cf beasts.
And nhrieking owls, and ravens gloomy-

j plumed.
Silent the voice of power that scorned the

' world ;

Silent the eager shouts of those who came
With treasures of that world, far-gathered from
The dusky East, the golden grained glebes
Of sunny Egypt, and the farther west :
Silent the toilful sounds of homy hands.
The manifold rich sonnda of cheerful work ;
Silent the scngs of those who plucked the
grapes

I Purpling the ripened vineyard, and of those

' Who trod the wine-press, with light purpled

I feet ;

I Silent are they who quaffed the goblet's

stream.
While hi^rpist singer sang his olden lay.
And every eye was like a well of mirth ;
Silent the temple and the priests' proud chants ;
And silent King, and all who swelled the

pomp
Of Golden glory, and were loud with pride.

The Eternal Voice that speaks in history

spake : —
<< When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make,
" Thee desolate." And Petra knows 'twas Goo.
