THE MIRROR IN THE DESERTED HALL.
259



    And thus with man's proud spirit
    Thou tellest me 'twill be,
When the forms and hues of this world fade
    From his memory, as from thee:

    And his heart's long-troubled waters
    At last in stillness lie,
Reflecting but the images
    Of the solemn world on high.



THE END.
