The Dead IVlfe's Portroit.
Q
Beautiful, but 0 ! 30 sad, is this story of
the dead wife's portrait : and sad and
beautiful though it be, is too often true.
"We have been in more than one house in
our time, where the semblance of the de
parted, who had once been the light and
" lift of the household, was consigned to
the dust and cobwebs of the garret, and
her memory to forgetfulness :
In a lumbering attic room,
Where for want of light and air,
Years had died wiiLiu the gloom,
Leaving dead dust everywhere,
Everywhere,
ellung the portrait of a lady
o With a face so fair.
Time had long since dull'd the paiut;
Time, which all our arls disguise,
And the features now were faint,
AHd except the wondrous eyes,
Wondrous eyes
Ever looking, looking, looking,
With such sad surprise!
As man lovelh. man had loved
Her whose features faded there;
As man mourneth, man had momrned.
Weeping n his dark despair
Bitter teirs;
When she left him broken hearted,
To bis death of years.
0Then for months the picture bent
... , . All its eyes upon his face,
O Following him wher'er he went,
Till another filled the place
q In its stead
Till the features of the living
Did outface the dead.
There for years it hung above
In that attic, dim and ghast,
Fa-ling with the fading love
Sad reminder of the past ;
Save the eye?,
Ever looking:, ever looking-.
With such sad surprise.
Oft, the distant laughter's sound
Enter d through the cobweb'd door,
And the cry of children found
Dusty echoes from the floor
To those eyes,
Ever locking, ever looking,
With such sad surprise.
Once there moved upon the slair
Olden love sU-ps mounting low,
IJut the. face that met him there
Drove him to the depth below,
For those eyes
Thro' his soul seem'd looking, looking.
All their said surprise.
From that day the doer was nailed
Of that memory hiftinted room ;
And the portrait hung and paled
On the dead dust and the gloGiii,
Save the eyes,
Ever looking, over looking,
Willi such sad surprise!
