PANSY. What blossom have you brought to day, Beside my pillow, dear, to lay ? Come, let me see my prize, A velvet pansy, large and fair, With petals yellow as your hair, And purple as your eyes, i

I think I know the very spot,

Whefe, bordered with torget-me-nort, | This lovily blossom grew ; |

We kvew that pansy bed of old,

A sweet switt story there was told, Between black eyes and blue.

[t seems but yesterday we stood,

Kach veto each God's greatest good, Beneath the morning sky !

We stood as lovers stand to part,

(But hand from hand, not heart from heart )y With lingering good-bye.

Upon your snow-white dress you wore,

nae blossom, plucked an hour before While still the dew was wet -

A purple pansy, fair as this,

1 took it with your first shy kiss; i have that blossom yet.

We thought our fate was hard that day, But, darliog, we have learned to s.y, “Whater is, is best.” That far-off parting which is o'er, Foretold one longer, ou betore, A waiting which we rest.

We wait as friends and lovers do,

Each reading true heart through aod through Vatil that parting come.

Then it you speak I shall not hear,

I shall not feel your presence near, Nor answer. Death is dumb.

You may bring pansies, too, that day,

To spread above the senseless clay, Butnone so sweet as this:

And never one like that dear flower,

You gave me in Jove’s dawning hour, With your shy clinging kiss.
