 Touch, liffhtly touch the Harp I 
 :For life has loat a portion of its ffladness t 
 
 Yes, one whose meiodjr ^as ioTe's deap feelinf* 
 Has passed away, and we are wed to sadness. 
 
 Quidc tears ofsorrow to mj eyes are stealinf^ 
 My heart is full of weeping, and sincere, 
 iFer one, we dearly loTed, has passed from life's briffhl iphere. 
 
 Yes, lightly touch the Harp, 
 Let not its deeper tones the sool awaken 
 
 And stir it to that grief, that knows no ending; 
 A gentler sorrow for the loved one taken 
 
 From truest hearts, that are with sorrow rendingb 
 Befits the mouToer for her of the Lyre, 
 'For yet our hearts are warm with her soft words of fir*. 
 
 Her's was no earthly spirit ' 
 For 'round ne is a spell of h«avan.bok » b«aaty. 
 
 Caught from some fairy landscape in her dreaming. 
 And tales of love, with gentle, moral duty,— 
 
 A word unspoken,— wnich has caused the streaming 
 Of the last lifcdrop of a fondest heart ;— 
 lAnd should we not lament when such meek ones depart t 
 
 Her's were the heart and song,— 
 The starry sentinels of beaTen*B dominion. 
 
 Their spirit beauty, and long years of glowing. 
 And the lost sister,* borne on Time's swift pinUm 
 
 To some angelic region,— these were flowing 
 In songs of fairy language from her lyre. 
 And filled as with high hopes, and being's fond deaira U- 
 
 They're tones that can not die I 
 For in my memory ring those thr tiling n ambers. 
 That came as from some angel's ly re or singing. 
 When man is mute in midnight's deeper slumbera 
 Yes, in my memory still those tones are ringing. 
 Tones of the lyra that are forever hushed, 
 A melody, that from tiie soul pure as an angel's, gush«% 
 
 They're tones that can not die. 
 Of early infancy and happy childhood, 
 ^To hopes, like cloudless stars, all brilliant rising. 
 Painting life's scenes as bright as Nature's wildwo«d| 
 
 Of manhood, and old age the world despising. 
 And nature's sotnes, and golden-paiaced dreams, 
 -AAd many a ue^ie tale of fairy dells and streams. 
 
 But it is *vor thus I 
 For thus do young hopes psNs with all their splealoon 
 
 Still eager yet to cheer one heart of sorrow. 
 And hovering near it like a spirit tender, 
 
 Thev're forced to leave it to a lone to-morrow ; 
 And thns our Sappho of old England's bowers, 
 Seemtd but to stay to gladden lifers lone sad dark how% 
 
 And it is ever thus. 
 For so wUd Oenius, like an eagle speeded, 
 
 And roaming o'er the world in radiant pluming, 
 Seeks for its lower kindred, thoughts high and uuheede^ 
 
 And regions unexplored, forever blooming ; 
 But little shares the glory tr the gain. 
 And leaves its mortal home for heaven's own bright 4««ain-> 
 
 But who shall tune the Harp I 
 Oht who Its thrilling tones again shall waken. 
 
 That Harp of purest eong and rapture broathinc'— 
 'Tis silent new all lonely and forsaken, 
 
 Andlies,perehaaee, where moumlngflowers arawriathlnf. 
 Where is tha hand that tuned it f— StTil and eol^ « 
 > Or in • better worlO, It tunes • harp of gold. 
 
 Yes, who shall tune the Harp, 
 Aa it was tuned ere life's frail link was broken 1^ 
 
 I hear no accent, but the low wind's sighing. 
 As though to tell her loss, had Nature spoken—
