Founts, leaves, and flowers, with solemn rapture thrilling—

This is the soul of thy rich harmony.

This bears up high those breathings of devotion

Wherein the currents of thy heart gush free;

Therefore no world of sad and vain emotion

Is the dream-haunted music-land for thee.

THE BRIGAND LEADER AND HIS WIFE.

SUGGESTED BY A PICTURE OF EASTLAKE’S.

Dark chieftain of the heath and height!

Wild feaster on the hills by night!
