"EVA a True Story of Light and Daikncsss" " The 111-
Oniencd Marriage" and other rocm by Sir Edward
Lytton Bulwer Bart author of Eugene Aram Ilicnzi
etc.. New York Jnne 11 1812.
The following poem from the above named volume is
from Bulwcr'slast published effort. There are many of the
ndmircrsof this author as a novelist uho sneer at his claims
asapoct. Wcarcnot of this number wc confess a liking
to many of the little poetical effusions scattered through his
novels. AVe like the measure the mcloJy and the sentiment-
One ro poetical in temperament as to hnvo wriltcn the "Pil-
grims of the Rhine" and the "Last D.is of rompcii" has
poetry in his soul and if he never wrote two lines of rhjme
n ould still be a poet.
We think there arc few that will deny n high order of
beauty to the annexed poem. If othern isr w e must confess
our singularity.
EVA;
A TRUE STORY OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS.
The Author has to thank an American gentleman for the
beautiful story (related also It Mr. Combe in one of his lec-
tures) to which this poem owes its origin.
I.
The Maiden's Home.
A cottage in a peaceful vale;
A jasmine round the door;
A hill losheltcrfrom the gale;
A silver brook before.
Oh street the jasmine's hid of snow
In mornings soft with May
And sweet in summer's silent glow.
The brooklet's merry play ;
Hut sweeter in that lonely place
To God it must hai c icen
To sec the Maiden's happy face
That blessed the borne whhin !
Without the porch you heard at noon
A voice that sang for glee;
Or marled the while ncckglancing down
The book upon the knee
II.
The Idiot Roy.
Who stands between thee and the sun 1
A cloud himself iho Wandering one!
A Tacant wonder in the c cs
The mind a blank unwritten scroll ;
The light was in the laughing skies
And darkness in the Idiot's soul.
He touched the book upon her knee
He looked into her gentle face
"Thou dost not tremble maid to sec
Poor Arthur by thy dwelling-place.
I know not why but n here I pass
The aged turn away;
And if my shadow cx the grass.
The children cease from play.
My only playmates arc the wind
The blossom on the bough!
Why arc thy looks so soft and kind 1
Thou dost Hot tremble thou!''
Though none were by she trembled not
Too meek to woun J too good to fear him ;
And as she lingered on the spot
She hid the tears that gush'd to hear him.
in.
Prayer of Arthur's Father.
" 0 Maiden 1" thus the sire began
"Maiden do not scorn mj prajtr:
I have a hapless idiot-son
To all my wealth Ihepnlyheir;
And day by day iA shine or rain
He wanders forth to caze again
Uporl those eyes nhosc looks of kindness
Still haunt him in his world ofblindness.
A sunless world ! all arts to yield
Light to the mind from childhood seal'd
Have been explored in vain.
Few are his joys on earth; above
For every ill a cure is given
God grant me life to cheer wUh love.
The wanderer's guileless pal to heaven.''
He paused hit heart was full" Arid now
what hrinss the suppliant fallicr hci?l
Yes fewthe joys iLi i;fe bestows
On him whos; life is but repose
One night from year to year;
Yctnot so dark O Maid if thou
Couldtt bear that harmless joy to see
Which smiles the shadow fiom his face
When car can catch or eye can trace
A tone a glimpse of thee;
The mournful presence conldst crldurc
Nor shun the steps thy looks allure
Couldst" Eva's father from her brow
Tailed the golden locks descending
To veil the sweet face downwards bending
And pointing to the swimming eyes
The dew drops glisl'ning on the check
"Mourner!" the happier father cries
" These tears her answer speak I"
Oh sweet the jasmine's buds of snow
In mornings soft with May;
And sweet in summer's silent glow
The brooklet's merry play;
Bui sweeter in that lonely place
To God it must have been
Thesoul that lit the maiden's face
Soul watching Soul within.
IV.
The Young Teacher.
Of wonders on the land snd deeps
She spoke and glories in the sky
The Eternal life the father keeps
For those who learn from Him to die.
So simply did the Maiden speak
So simply and so earnestly
You saw the light begin to break
And Soul the Heaven to see ;
You saw how slowly day by day.
The darksome waters caught the ray
.. Confused and broken come and gone
The beams as yet uncertain arc
Bet dill the billows murmur on
And struggle for the star.

- Jke Stranger Suitor.
There came to Era's maiden htane
" A Stranger froBt a sunnier clbae ;. ' "'
The lore that HeIltBSi to Rome --
The wealth that Wisdom wprlaTrom Time
Whichever in la e$bd Sew -"Heaves

. Thrgosieofyore;
EAm that in that dark profound
Th? stt the Student's wail can-nu;
;
Shone from his thought and sparkled round
The Enchanted Palace fthc Mind.
In man's best years his form was fair
Broad brow with hyacinth locks of h.iir;
A port though stately not severe;
An eye that could the heart control;
A voice whose music to the car
Became a memory tothc soul.
It veem'd as Nature's hand hail done
Her uiost to mould her kin-lj son
But oft bencnih the sunlit Nile
The grim destroyer waits i.s prey
And dark below that fatal mile
The lurking demon la-.
Hon trustful in the leafy Jnrio
She rovd with him the lonely vale;
How trustful by the tender moon
She blush'd to hcarn tenderer talc.
O happy Earth ! the dau n revives
Da- after day each drooping (lower
Time to the heart onre only gives
The joyous Morning-Hour.
To him oh wilt thou pledge thy youth
Tor whom the world': false bloom is oVr"!
My heart shall haven in thy truth.
And tempt the faithless wave no mote.
In my far laud a sun more bright
Sheds rose-hues o'er a tidclcss sea ;
Idit cold the wave and dull the light
Without the sunshine found in Ihcc.
Say wilt Ihou come the Strang r". bride.
To that bright land rnd titleless 5Ca ?
There inosun but bylliyMJe
My life's nliolc sunshirc smiles in thrc!"
Her hand lay trembling on his nnn
Averted glow'd the bappy face;
Asoftci hue a mightier charm
Grew mellowing o'er the hour the place;
Along the breathing woodlands mered
A riicsENCK dream-Iikc-and divine
How sweet to Iotc and Ic bcloi rd.
To lean upon a heart that's thine!
Silence w.-u o'er the earth and ky
By silence Lore is muttered best
Her answer na the don ncast cy c
The roc-chcck pillow M on his breast.
Will rustles through the moonlit brake 1
What sudden spectre meets their gaze?
What face the hues of life foralr-.
Gleams ghost-like in the ghostly rays?
You might have heard his heart that beat
So heaving roc its Iiraiy swell
Ab more the Idiot at l.er feet
The Dark One rotistd to reason fell.
Loos'd the last link that thrallM the thought
Th; lightning broke upon the blind
The jealous love the cure had wrought.
The Heart in waking woke the Mind.
vi.
The Marriage.
To and fro the chunh bell sn inging
Cheerily clearly to and fro;
Gaily go-iho young girls bringing
Flowers the fairest June may know.
Maiden nowcis Hi.n MnumM nl itiUiud
Strcw'd thy path the bridal day;
May the Hope thy soiilIia(hciishcd
Bloom when these arc pit away!
The Father's parting prayer is said
The daughter'? parting kiss is given ;
The tears a happy bride may shed
Like snn-shoners scarcely clou.! her Iic.itcti ;
Or t"a cloud how soon appears
An Iris calling smiles from tcrr!
VII.
The Hermit.
Years fly; bcr.caih the yew tree's shade
Thy father holy dust is laid;
The brook glides on ihe jtsminc blows;
But where art thou the wandering w ife
And what the bliss and what the woes
Glass'd in the mirror-sleep of life I
For whether life may laugh or weep
Death the true waking life the sleep.
None know! afjr unheard. unccn
1 " present heeds not what has been.
Wiir'a vjlhc gulf that thunders on
The floating r-rt forgets the gone.
But all pcrcha!c? mc Ilcait may fint(
Where Memory liS) n saint enshrin'd
Some altar-hearth in wvjch ourshndc
The Ilouschold-god orTlKNght is made;
And each slight relic hoarded yt
With faith more solemn than regret.
Who tenants thy forsaken cot
Wh J lends thy childhood' favorite flowers
Who wakes from every haunted spot
The Ghosts of vanished Hours?
'Tis He whoscsense was doem'd to borrow
From thee the Visit n ami the Sorrow
To whom the Reason's golden ray
In the Heart's Anguish-storm was given;
The peal that rent the clouds away
Left clear the silent face of heat en !
And wealth was his and gentle Wrth
. A form in fair proportions cast;
But lonely still he walk'd the earth
The Hermit of the Tast.
It was not love that dream was o'er!
No stormy grief no wild emotion ;
For oft what once was Love ofyorc
The Memory soothes into Devotion !
He bought the cot: The garden flowers
The haunts his Era's steps had trod
Books thought beguiled the lonely hours
That flow'd in peaceful atcs to God.

Before the bride had left her vale

" Thy charms grow dim my Iotc grows cold ;
My sails arc spread Farewell."
Rigid ill voiceless marble there

The m.irble melted from the breast
And all the Mother gush'd in tears."

The Return.
The cottage in the peaceful vaic
The jasmine round the door.
The lull :-ti! shelters from the gale
The brookstill glides before.
Without the porch one summer noon
The Hcrmit-duellcr sec I
In musing silence bending down.
The look upon his knee.
Who stands between thee and the sun ?
A cloud hei self theWand'ring Onel
A vacant sadness in the e cs
The mind a raz'd defeatured srroll;
The light i in the laughing kie
And darkness Eva in ihy ou !
Thelicacon shaken in the storm
Had .strusjlcd still to steam above
The last sa.l w reek of human love
IJoii the dying child to sh-M
One ray txtinguish'il with the dead:
O'er earth and hcarcn then rushed the nihl !
A wandering dream a mindless funn
Ast.irh'irl'd hcadbnig from its height
Guidclcss its eoiitsc and qiieneh'd its light.
Yet -till the natile in-tinct s'irr'd.
The darkness of the breast '
She flics as flics the wounded bitd
Unto !he distant nest.
O'er bill and waste fnm land to land
Her heart the faithful instinct bore:
And there behold the Wanderer stand
Beside her Childhood's Home once more!
XI.
Lisht and Darkness.
WJicn earth is fr.irand w inds are still
When siin-et gilds the western hill
Oft by the porch with jasmine iix-t
Or by the brook with nuiless feet
TwiiMlcnt fnrmsarc ccn;
So silent they the place so lone
Thevsi'cm like souls when life is gone
Tint haunt where life has been:
And his'o watch as in llic past
llcrsnul had walch'd his . soul.
Alas ! At darkness waits the lat
The grave the only goal !
It is not whit the leech can etirri
An erring chord a jarring madness;
A calm so deep it must endure
So deep ihou scarce canst call it sadness ;
A summer night whose shadim f.dl
Genii- but o'er ttic wrecks of all.
Yet through the gloom she scem'd to feci
His pre-ence like a happier air.
Close by his side she lov'd to steal.
As if no ill coutd harm her there!
And when her looks his own w mild set k
omc memory secinM to w.-.ke hc sigh
Strive A r kii'd words ho could not speak.
And bless him in Iho tearful eye.
O sweet tin jasmine'.s buds of snow
In mornings soft wi'h May
And sweet in summer's silent glow
The brooklet's merry play ;
But sweeter in that lend place
To God it nu't have lien
The soul tint lit the Hermit's face
Soul watching Soul within!
