Rays from the Southern cross [verse].

TO A WITHERED LEAF.

FROM THE FRENCH.

FROM thy stem thus rudely torn,
Fluttering, withered and forlorn,
Leaflet, whither goest thou?
Ah! I know not,-tempests bow
Low the oak-tree's stately form :
Torn from thence by wind and storm,
Wandering aimless on my way,

I pause not by night or day.

Now awhile I seem to rest
On the mountain's giddy crest,
Then a moment sees me laid
Gently on the sunny glade
In the tranquil vale below,-
But I rest not there, I go
Wheresoe'er the wild wind leads,

Rustling o'er the flowery meads,
Whirled across the trackless plain—

Yet I fear not, nor complain.

I but share the doom of all,
E'en as I the rose leaves fall,
And the victor's laurel wreath,—
All alike must yield to death.
All, however bright or fair,
Journey thus, they know not where.

THE END.
