From the London Courier.
OH! had we some bright little isle OF
In blue Summer ocean, far of and ~
lone
Where a leaf never dies in the still
blooming bowers,
And the bee banquets on thro' whole
year of flowers:
Where the sun loves to pause
With SO fond delay,
That the night only draws
A thin veil Ger the day;
Where simply to feel that we breathe,
that We live,
Is worth the best Joy tina. life elsewhere
can give!
There with souls ever ardent and pure
as the cline,
We should love as they love in the first
golden time;
The glow Of the sunshine, the balm 81
the air,
Would steal to our hearts, and make all
summer there.
With affection as free
From decline as the bowers;
And with hope like the bee,
Living always on flowers:
Our life should resemble lsng day, OF
light,
And our death come on slowly, calm
as the night.
