THE TEAR OF SYMPATHY.


Written on receiving a letter, where the priv,
ola conjugal regretful tear, was easily tracsa
by the author, when preparing to sail from hiss
country.
From her adore came TEAR DnsP, enshrinetl.
In aletter whose lsngtiage was sweet.
And that tear was more welcome-more dear TO
my mind,
Than sentiments powers ca, repeat
49, H. st
With silence expressive,h came from tie source,
Where feeling and syn,pothy blend,
With affection and isue tos,ve oioquence force,
10 the speech of eongnso3 friend.
Ill.
traced every line, with soul all on fire
For each word was n torch to my breast;
Or nantchighf Of love to enrapturcd esire.
That enkindled the bosom it bess'd.
But the language grew ssdder--ahd prompted
sigh
As from soft senn6iG,y stole,
The TEAR that fell warm, from my EvssINH's
To express the distress of her soul
v.
mark'd it-embracsd it-'twas tinged with the
brine,
That's commingled with synpsthys dew:
Twas the offering of xovE at rIDyLIrY's shrine,
From that heart whose devotion knew. -
-etf ts vi.
Twas mixture of sadness-of hoee--and regret: ;
A sPhereie.te created in pain,
BY angiSsh and woe, where the symtsthies met,
in the glowing hearts secret domain.
VII.
On" Lovers atpsrtiRg," my EvALISE dwelt--
And the trials which consistency proves:
What our hearts bad to feel-and how much
they had felt,
Since the spring Of our innocent loves.
She'd thought OF her own lonely desolste state
But She tide Of affection flowed wild,
When, in fancy, She witnessed her fond-Ioying
mate,
E'on his iisnds-ho and e0mf-y eaIicd
was then sprung the warm, gushing chry sta.
line TEAR
From The pathos of soul it was wrung,
And it fell on the dirk written signs of her fear,
More expressive than words from her tongue.
X.
To the pittyng reart, flom the bosom of love,
May the mind breathe its soul thro' the ear /;
Dut nouSht eau The feelings SO powerfully move,
as ATr-cII0N's bright hiGs.r a Tam

As PHI weep o'etts.e spot where it fell
And Ten thousand timesoer it shall ne vt my en-

& Ni-eE 6ade my dear ERIK farewell,

But shed no more tears my love--shed no more
tears,
Of SO holy AID precious kind,

And dizpcrses thy 7siiter Of mind.
