THE MISER'S DEATH.

With struggling light the fire Shone dimly o'er the hearth, Where sat an aged sire. A wealthy one of earth.

His brow was knit with care, The furrows of Old Time ; His marble head was bare, He long had passed his prime. Haggard and sad his look, Dark fear and discontent, His trembling knees they shook His body low was bent. His cheeks were pale and thin ; His grey eyes keenly roll, Alas ! the leprosy of sin Lies heavy on his soul. Slowly he did unfold His bags of yellow clay ; The shining piles of gold , Upon his table lay. Gold was? his only friend, •''■:_■ Gold was his daily shrine ; With gold his joys would end, O'er it his life did twine. He gazed around—afraid— As if some spirit there Whispering faintly said, " Thy doom to meet prepare." Once more he counts his store, Then sinks into his chair ; Alas ! he'll count no more For death's dread hand is there. His heart turn'd all to stone, Upward glared his eye; And hark ! that low faint groan ; This is his hour to die. Then thro' the miser's room The moonbeams brightly shone, Chasing the murky gloom Where the miser dies alone. There lay his heaps of gold Beside its kindred clay : Breathless he is and cold, The soul has pass'd away.
