MEMORY.

[An unpublished poem by Charlotte Bronte] When the dead in their cold graves are lying

Asleep, to wake never again, When past are their smiles and their sighing, Oh! why should their memories remain ?». Though sunshine and spring may have lightened The wild flowers that blow on their graves; Thoughs sumimics their tombstones have bright- And autumn have paid them with leaves i Though winter have wildly bewalled them

With her dirge wind, as sad at a 'koll Though the shroud of her snow-wreath have

velled them,

Silll, how deep in our bosoms they dwell i The shadow and sun-sparkle vanish,

The cloud and the light fleet away ; But man from his heart may not banish -- Eyền thoughts that ars torment to stay. The reflection departs from the river,

When the tree that hung o'er is cut down ; But on Memory's calm current forever

Tha shade, without substance, is thrown. Whep quenched in the glow of the ember,

When the life-fre ceases to barn, Oh 1 why should the spirit remember I Oh why should the parted return ? Because that the fire is still sbising,

Because that the lamp is still bright; While the body in dust is reclining,

The soul lives in glory and light,
