So fair, and yet so lesolate : So wan, and yet so young ; Oh, there ts grief too deep for tears, Tvo seal'd for tell-tale tongue! With a faded floweret m her hand, Poor little hand so white ! And dim blue eye. from her casement high She looks upon the night.

Only a little rosebud — Only a simple flower— ' Bat it blooms no more as it seem‘d to bloom Through many a lonely hour. As they float from her fever'd touch away; The petals witber’d and brown, : All the hopes she deem‘d too bright to be dfeam d Sink trembling and flattering down.

It needs no hush of the Present To call back the sweet calm Past; The lightest sunmer murmuring Way be heard through the wintry blast, ‘nd the wind is rough with sob and with sough, lo-night upon gable and tree, Till the bare elms wail like spectres pale, And the pines like @ passionate sea.

Of the laurels wh spering in their sleep, And the white rose in full blow.

All, all too freshly real ; The soft subdued eclipse, Hand in hand, amd heart in heart, And the thrill of the wedded lijs; Those tender memories, how they fash Pale cheek and brow again, Though heart be changed, and lip estranged, That swore such: luring then!

Tis but the old, old story, Sung so often in vain ; For man al) the freedom of pasion, For woman the calm and the pain. Tell it the soul wiose grief if read In the poor, pale suffering face. It will still cling om to a love that is gone, With the warmth ef its first embrace.

Oh, *tis well for the careless spirit To weave the web of rhyme, And prison the idle memories That float on the breach of time ; But better fur my aching heart, If ever it might be so. To forget, to forget the light that has set, And the dreams of long ago.
