POETRY.
FROM THE KEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

TO lady, 7oith a qereath Of CYPRESS
% lady wear this wreath for me,
Though gathered from the cypress tree;
lhe roses bud would grace thy bloom;
More sweet the lily shed perfume;
The myrtle on thy breast or brow,
Would lively hope and love avow;
The heath-hower, with It's azure bell,
Thy modest worth and virtues tell;
But i'll such emblems were design'd
To mark deyotedness of mind;
Chen, lady! wear this wreath for me,
Though gather'd from the cypress tree.
The roses, though in beauty born,
Are clrcled by the searching thor.
Their fragrant leaves ere summers gone,
On earth fail faded, one by one;
And suns and tempest may bercaye
The lily of its sweets ere eve;
The heath-bell and the myrtle flower
will wither IN Moons sultry hour;
alone IN sunshines, storms and SHOWS,
Gnchangeably the cypress grows;
Then, lady! wear tnis wreath for me,
Presh gather'd from the cypress tree.
O'er ruin'd shrines and silent tombs
The weeping cypress spreads its glooms,
in immortality OF woe,
Whist other shrubs in gladness blow,
And fling upon The passing wind
Their liberal treasures unconfn'd;
And well lis dark and dropping leaf,
Ma mage forth the gloom and grief,
Which when we parted, gave reply
Prom heavng heart and dewey eye;
Then, lady wear this wreath for me,
Ruck'd from the faithful cypress tree.
Uncaalenged, let the warrior wear
the laurel IN his cory hair;
Deceit, the monks hood; pity dear,
Tic primrose, wet with mornings tear;
On pilde's -m5lazon'd forehead tower
The tuhp or the poppy flower;
TlAldity, Of all AFRAID,
Her wreath of the mimosa braid;
fut III aer gar.ands would become
ia. eueship, in this martyrdon
Ojoy-tnen, lady wear for me,
The droopings of the cypress tree.
Zine was, that in the natural flow
Ct bliss our spirits learn'd to glow;
When all too soon the golden day
in ewes oblivion died away;
When morning but more closely drew
Our Ties oflove and feeling too;
-An4 TINS per chance shall blend again
Dur ude OF pleasure or Of pain;
ali t..en-tor, IKE the cypress-lesG
IN absence, peril, joy and grief,
Ali ct;on blooms eternally-
