Which hath been mute, aud still must sleep pro- touuil; So voice is hushed.no life trends silently. ut oleada ead cloudy shadows wander lrce, That in vi r stn,ka-, ov. r Un- idle grow d Hut in greet) run.*-, in lb* deaolate walls Of antiene palaoes, where Man bath been, Tboagk the dun fox, or wild hyena, celle, And owls, that tlu continually between, ."..nii'- tu tba echo, aod tbe low winda moan.
