THS SHADOW IN THE VALLEY. 
There's a moa«y, shady valley 
Where the waters wind aud flow,

Bloom in beauty in the spring.t 
And the sun-beams kiss the wavelet, 
Till they seem to laugh and sing.

HOLLOW ! HOLLOW 1 
I stood tsmeatli a hollow tree— 
The blast it hollow blew — 
I thought upon the hollow world, 
And all its hollow crew ; 
Ambition and its hollow schemes, 
The hollow hopes we follow, 
Imagination’s hollow dreams: 
All hollow, hollow, hollow 1 
A crown it is a hollow thing, 
And hollow heads olt wear it; 
The hollow title of a KiDg, 
What hollow hearts oft bear it 1 
No hollow wiles, or honeyed smiles 
Of ladies fair, I follow ; 
For beauiy sweet still hides deceit, 
’Tis hollow, hollow, hollow 1 
The hollow Tory but betrays 
The hollow dupes who heed him ; 
The hollow critic vends his praise 
To boilow fools who feed him ; 
The boilow fnend who takes your hand 
Is but a summer swallow ; 
Wbate’er I see is like this tree, 
All hollow, hollow, hollow !
