Nor the human harp the tones that once were all its own;

But quivering on its strings, there ever will be found

An echo-tone of memory—an unforgotten sound—

And though the chords be broken—its glad music at an end,

With its murmured melody, a strain of other years will blend!


FOR AND AGAINST.
