“ Still my heart, on his relying, For his truth will pledge its own. Ah! the love from childhood cherished Links a sweet and household tie; If such old affection perished, All life's early hopes must die. ”

“ BY MISS L. E. LANDON. I. Nay, fling back that veil,—'t is a shame to the sky The sight of such beauty as thine to deny! Nay, fling back that veil,—were it but to disclose A cheek that is reddening to rival the rose. ”

“ Droop, droop, pale flowers, for ye are mine; Your early doom my own will be; Give me some sympathising sign That nature sorroweth with me. III. Ah! folly—yonder solemn sky Is not for pity, but for prayer; And Nature's universal eye Weeps not, though one wrung heart despair. ”
