WESTMINSTER ABBEY.
(For the Mirror.)
"There is a voice from the grave sweeter than song."—Washington Irving.
Illustrious dead! one tributary sigh,
In that great temple where the mighty lie,
I breath'd for you—a magic charm was there
Where rest the great and good, the wise and fair;
Their glittering day of fame has had its close
And beauty, genius, grandeur, there repose.
