This march was written to celebrate the termination of the 'Francol?-Gfrh eriacc Its breadth and dignity are characteristic of the noblest elements in the 1(lifi'
character, and display more a fervent joy at the assured safety of the fatherlam, braggart triumph. This is further heightened by the solemn entry, on the 1 3 ' Wood Wind, of Luther's soul-stirring Chorale, " EM Feste Burg ist unser Gott ,,

Mr. HENRY STOCKWELL.
This wonderful poem represents in an ideal form the overpowering f which it is in the power of some women to exert over certain men—a f which makes or mars life. This the poets have pictured in "Antony and C 0 " Launcelot and Guinevere," "Tristan and Isolde." The music is an a h realise the weird despair of the scene, and the strange irresistible magic of which usurps the man's whole being, with all its tender, dreamy delight, E
the eighth stanza is the most marked instance, where the strange harm gressions seem to typify the "love-sleep" from which his life long he may ne awaken.
'Raiser Marscb
1.
Ah! what can ail thee, wretched wight, Alone and palely loitering ;
The sedge is withered from the lake, And no birds sing.
2.
Ah! what can ail thee, wretched wight, So haggard and so woe-begone ?
The squirrel's granary is full, And the harvest's done.
3• I see a lily on thy brow,
With anguish moist and fever dew; And on thy cheek a fading rose
Fast withereth, too.
I met a lady in the meads, Full beautiful—a faery's child;
Her hair was long, her foot was light, And her eyes were wild.
5• I set her on my pacing steed,
And nothing else saw all day long; For sideways would she lean, and sing
A faery's song.
6. I made a garland for her head,
And bracelets, too,,and fragrant zone; She looked at me as she did love,
And made sweet moan.
She found me roots of relish s And honey wild, and manna
And sure in language strange s I love thee true.
8.
She took me to her elfin grot, And there she gazed and sig
And there I shut her wild, sad So kissed to sleep.
9. And there we slumbered on the
And there I dreamed, ah, woe The latest dream I ever dream
On the cold hillside.
I o. I saw pale kings, and princes,
Pale warriors—death-pale we Who cried—" La Belle Dame s
Hath thee in thrall."
I I. I saw their starv'd lips in the g
With horrid warning gaped And I awoke, and found me he
On the cold hillside.
12.
And this is why I sojourn here Alone and palely loitering,
Though the sedge is withered f And no birds sing.

Liedertafel.)
Lonely and friendless to God I prayed, The deep woe of my heart I poured out before Hint. Then burst from my soul a cry so full of plaint, Far, far into the sky it rang with piercing tones, And echoed in the distance, and softly died away—Peace fell upon me, and sweet sleep.
In sheen of gleAtaiwarmour, A lordly knight drew near, So spotless, pure, and valiant Ne'er saw I knight before. A golden horn hung by his side, He leant upon his sword. Thus neared he from dim, distant realms, So leal, and true, and fair ; With gesture of deep tenderness He brought me comfort sweet. That knight alone my heart doth choose To be my champion. 0 hear, hear what the heaven-sent Shall gain as guerdon rare : The crown that was my father's Shall be for him to wear, And all my fair possessions To him I gladly yield, And will he take me as his spouse, I will be wholly his.
