SONNET:

on overhearing a little child (a visitor) saying

'mamma' in the next room

 
Hark! through the wall it comes! and to my ear
    It sounds the sweetest of all silvery tones,
So soft, yet syllabled distinct and clear,
    'Mamma!'—and happy she the name who owns!
Nor would I all suppress this starting tear,
Which blinds me, while, that infant's voice I hear!
    Say it again, fair child; I like it well,
Although I sit alone, within my room,
    Like hermit-hearted man within his cell.
    It wakens Reminiscence, like a bell;
And summons up a vanished Form most dear,
Which, long years since, I laid within the tomb!
    Strange, that a simple sound should reach so deep,
    And flood my heart with thoughts, and make me weep!

A SCHOOL DICTIONARY of the GERMAN LANGUAGE. In Two Parts. By Dr J. H. Kaltschmidt.—Forming one of the volumes of the German Section of Chambers's Educational Course.

Part I.—GERMAN-ENGLISH, now ready

This Dictionary has been compiled from the latest editions of Flügel, Hilpert, and Grieb, expressly for the assistance of English students of German. As it has been the chief object of the Author to unite comprehensiveness with brevity, a much larger number of scientific and technical terms, as well as geographical and other proper names, have been introduced, than are found in any other Dictionary of the same compass; while the whole has been cleared of redundant explanation and improper expressions, and carefully revised by an English Scholar acquainted with German.
