      She sees , drawn out in vision clear , ! A "world with summer radiance drest , I And all the glories of that year . . j Which sleeps within ber virgin breast . j Equally beautiful 5 s this brief and tender passage : — ! The stony ash itself relents , i Into the bine embrace of May Sinking , like old impenitents ; Heart-touched at last ; and , far away ,

      The long -wave yearns along the coast With sob suppressed , like that which thrills ( While o ' er the altar mounts the Host ) Some chapel on the Irish hills . t The long Avave * is from Tennyson , -with - whom . 3 t is a favourite expression ; 3 »« t tire ' yearning along "the coast' is , we conceive , original , and is subtly tract © that-sense of endless aspiration and desire which is suggested by the eternal advance and recession of the sea . " Many -other passages might be quoted ; but we can only fead room &r a few scattered stanras w'hicu are capable of Btanding by themselves : — Kipplings oT sunlight from the wave i Ascend the white rock , nigh and higher ; ; Sof t gurglings fill the satiate cave ¦} ' j "Soft airs amid the reeds expire . . ¦ All round tie lone and luminous mere I The dark world stretches , far and free : That skylark ' 8 song alone 1 near ; ! That flashing wave alone I see .

      ! Ehe poet thus speaks of the grief of Mary after the crucifixion : — From her He passed : yet still with her ' The endless thought of Him found rest ; . A sad but sacred branch of myrrh : For * ver folded in her breast . A Boreal winter void of light— So seemed her widowed days forlorn : ; She slept ; but in her breast all night Her heart lay waking till the morn . Love strong as Death ! She lived through thee That mystic life whose every breath From Life ' s low harpstring amorously Drams cnttihe sweetened name of Dectfh .

      And thus he depicts the . more than , mortal love of the Mother for the Child : — Mother of Love ! Thy love to Him Cherui ) and seraph , can but-guess : —¦ A mother sees its image dim In her ovm oreatMess tenderness . Unmarked bis youth goes by : his hair Still smooths she down , still strokes apart ; TJiefint / white thread that meets her there Glides ? like a dagger , through htr heart .

      Of Mary In the Temple we read :- ^ ! As in she passed , there fell a calm Around : each bosom slowly rose Like the long branches of the palm When under them the south wind blows . It will be seen from these quotations that Mr . De " Vere Tias great sweet ness , delicacy , and enthusiasm ; that his imagination is subtle and iis ' word-craft' exquisite ; and that he walks robed in a sacerdotal ffown and speaks to us constantly from the high altar . We believe that the specimens we have given convey a complete measure of his powers evidenced in the volume before us , which shows none of the stronger ormore virile elements of poetry . The author do-es not appeal to the universal heart , and be is deficient in vigour and in healthful sympathy with the myiiad manifestations of human life . A kind of dim , -sad faintness the product of his too great subjection to religious mysticism—is perceptible in his poetry ; and the world , as reflected in his mind , swims vaguely "before our ey « s , like cathedral lamps through a mist of incense . A . good deal moreover , of the purely Papistical parts of the poem seems , to our heterodox intellect , rather wordy and diffuse . But May Carols have the true poetical feeling in them , nevertheless ; and the quotations we have made will probably send the reader to the book itself .

      THEATRICAIi NOTES . Mrs . Catherine Sinclair , a lady from America , has appeared at the Hat-JUA-RKEr in the character of Beatrice in Much Ado about Nothing . She was well received , and is confident and easy , but is wanting in refinement and charm . Howe as Benedict is admirable , and Compton as Dogberry absolutely perfect . Mr . T . P . Cooke ' s engagement with TMr . Buckstone having terminated , &e commenced on Monday night a series of performances at the A » eepht , appearing in the world-famous part of WilUam in Doitgl- ^ s Jerrold ' s Black-eyed Susan , in which he acts with all the skill of a veteran and all the spirits of a youth . If there be any one in Xondon who has not yet seen him , we exhort that eccentric recluse to amend his error forthwith . Setting aside all theatrical considerations , it is a sight interesting to our common human nature , ana one which we cannot see every day , when a man upwards of seventy bounds on the stage like a hoy let out of school , rolls about with , all the suppleness of limb of a middy fresh from the mast-head , and acts , sings , and dances , with a -vitality , an ease , a flow of spirits , a mental brightness , and a physical agility , -which many a young man sitting among the audience might envy . It is pleasant to see any human life thus running on brightly and clearly to the last ; besides which , 'Tippy ' s' Sweet William is really an admirable performance—rough with the incrustations of the ocean salt ; fresh and hearty with the bloving of the ocean winds . W"heu we reflect that he acted this same character nearly thirty years ago , we may well set him down as the txue counterpart of those ideal shepherds in Sir Philip Sidney ' s Arcadia , who piped and made love ' as if they would never grow old . ' And , in truth , with such a cheerful heart , he never will grow old . —The veteran will also appear in the Pilot in another of his famous parts—Long Tom Coffin . Mr . and Mrs . Sibis Reeves are now delighting the East end of London hy operatic performances at the Statstda . m > Theatre .
