POETRY.

CONSTANCY, A SONG.
Forget thee—or forget
What my heart hath so dearly known ?
Deem'st thou that wholly from earth
All truth and faith are flown

Oh ! write your love on the sand,
And the wave will wash it away ;
Or, place your trust in the flower
The next summer sun will decay !

But take an emerald ring,
And thereon grave your name ;
Thro' the lapse and change of years
It still will be the same.

And such my heart—if you fear
That aught like change will be shown ;
'Tie I that shall weep for the change,
For the falsehood must be thine own.
