ploughing for the next year, and will pro-

objects Of no greater consequence, but
which employ much greater share of

Queen of the Night, whose orb serene, e.
Through liquid ether calmly floats;
By her is thy mild radiance seen
On whom my heart with fondnesS doats.
Oh! at this hour, when Nature sleeps,
And Want and Misery seek repose,
Thy hapless yotary wakes and weeps,
Nor finds an opiate for his woes!
His wife, his babes, his distant home,
Still on his tortur'd fancy rush:
He views around the billowy foam.
And tears OF burning anguish gush
Yet midst the fever of his soul,
His hearts reflections never err;
But, as the magnet to the pole,
With trembling fondness turns to her.
And--do my Annals pensive eyes
View thee with kindred thoughts to mine :
All no from distant western skies
On her meridian splendors shine!
Yet few the hours, and short the space,
Ere thy mild beams her eye shall cheer;
While in renewed diurnal race
The sun shall shed his fervors here!
Oh! could'st thou, on thy silver sphere
Inscribed, this hearts emotions bear;
ITS yearning hope-its anxious fear
Its fond regard-its tender care.
Could'st thou, sweet planet fair and calm,
To her its faithful love disclose,
fTwould yield her suffering heart balm
To read eu'n zoliat so weH she knows
But, no his heart thou can'st not show,
Still changing in thy nightly range,
Whose love, whose truth, in Joy or woe,
In life or death, can never change
