POETRY.
TO THE SHAMROCK.

Come, Ammo& of Erin! come close to my heart,
While the sight's dewy tears still moisten thy testa.
Green emblern of sorrow ! no sore shall we part,
Bet eateries thus for ever—united is grief.
No more is the wild madd'oing bowl shall I plate thee,
To bury at awe both our hopes sod our fears;
The loud laugh of mirth and of wine but disgrace thee,
While Erin sits drooping, sad pisiog in tears!
Hoe oft on this day, from my youth's early inorolog,
Thy green triple leave., have I joyfully wore,
'With pride and wish pleasure this bosom isdorniog,
Which beats for the land 1 so fondly adore !
And. as Hope smiled on me—so I fondly trusted,
She'd mile on that lead, ere the year should be post;
But, both were deceied—and disheartheo'd, dispelled,
We shall oink down together in darkness at last !
Theo, Shamrock of Erin ! come close to my heart,
While cold dewy tear-deeps still moisten thy leaf;
Is t►e evening of sorrow we were,. shall part,
But twine thus together, waited is grief!
