HEBREW MELODIES.

OH! SNATCHED AWAY IN BEAUTY'S BLOOM.
I.Oh! snatched away in beauty's bloom,On thee shall press no ponderous tomb; But on thy turf shall roses rear Their leaves, the earliest of the year;And the wild cypress wave in tender gloom:
II.And oft by yon blue gushing stream Shall Sorrow lean her drooping head,And feed deep thought with many a dream, And lingering pause and lightly tread; Fond wretch! as if her step disturb'd the dead!
