MISCELLANEOUS POEMS.



THE VOICE OF THE WIND.




There is nothing in the wide world so like the voice of a spirit.
Gray's Letters.




Oh! many a voice is thine, thou Wind! full many a voice is thine,
From every scene thy wing o'ersweeps thou bear'st a sound and sign;
A minstrel wild and strong thou art, with a mastery all thine own,
And the spirit is thy harp, O Wind! that gives the answering tone.
