THEY flit, they come, they go,

The visions of the day;

They change, they fade, they glow,

They rise, they die away.

And all within the scope
Of one poor human breast,
Where joy, and fear, and hope,
Like clouds on heaven's blue cope,

Can never be at rest.

They press, they throng, they fill
The heart where they have birth;
Oh pour them forth to thrill
Thy brethren of the earth!

In circles still they swim,
But outward will not go;
The lute-strings cage the hymn,
The cup is full, full to the brim,
Yet will not overflow.

When will the lute be stricken
So that its song shall sound?
When shall the spring so quicken
That its streams shall pour around?
Wo for the struggling soul
That utterance can not find,
Yet longs without control
Through all free space to roll,
Like thunders on the wind I

The painter's pencil came
The struggling soul to aid,
His visions to proclaim

In colored light and shade;
But though so fair to me
His handiwork may seem,
His soul desponds to see
How pale its colors be

Before his cherished dream.
So from the sculptor's hand
To life the marble's wrought;
But he can understand

How lovelier far his thought.
The minstrel's power ye own,
His lyre with bays ye bind;

But he can feel alone

How feeble is its tone

To the music of his mind.

So strife on earth must be

Between man's power and will;
For the soul unchecked and free

We want a symbol still.

Joy when the fleshy veil

From the spirit shall be cast,

Then an ungarbled tale

That can not stop or fail

Shall genius tell at last!

AN ADDRESS ON A

LATE WORK ON THE PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION, Read before the Swedenborg Association, of London, May 24th, 1849.

BYJ. J. G. WILKINSON.

THE circumstance that this Association, like so many of its elders, appoints an anniversary in this especial month, leads me to ask whether May Meetings are not a part of the laws of nature; and I think the question once put, must be answered in the affirmative. There are natural seasons, and there are spiritual seasons. By a happy system of complement these do not coincide, but tend to the reverse effect. Thus the beginning of Winter, is our social spring; Christmas and December, with their blaze of friendships and family joys are our social midsummer; and outward merry May is the social autumn, when warm affections begin to fade and die down, and town scatters itself into the country. By June our hearts are positively chilly, and in sweltering July we are so cold that happily it is difficult to collect half a dozen people together in a room for any mutual purpose; and lectures and concerts are impossible. Man and nature are in fact Antipodes. This is a very beautiful ordinance; that here also we should behold this law of contrast ed degrees; this house of many mansions; that one floor of seasons should be piled upon another; that the greatest heat of the world should relieve the coolest dews of the soul; that frost and barrenness should be as the glittering wall that sends us back in color the heart's most cheerful fires. Here we discern the equilibrium of nature, and observe when it is translated into human thought, that it is no other than temperance, or that happy mixture of thing with thing, and of time with time, by which all existences serve universal objects, and have only to unlock their bosoms well enough, and deeply enough, to bring forth any treasures however particular.

Now, as May is the inward autumn, it is of course the month of Social Harvest, of which May meetings may be reckoned as the end. Now abounds, where the cultivators are rich, the good cheer of capital speeches; intellectual dances all the better if not too polished; fraternizing of farmer and laborer, of prelates and poor converts; and the unctuous shine of a very large complacency. The good that has been done, the success that has grown up, in the last campaign; the hearts that have been kindled, the proselytes that have been led and won, are safely stacked and thatched, and most of them in sight of the Merry May meeting. They will serve to support man and horse, heart and understanding during the terribly dreary months of June, July, and August, when Missions, Atheneums, Philosophical Institutions, and great Exeter Hall itself, are no better than a recollection.
