WIFE TO HER HUSBAND IN ADVERSELY
THou, thou vert ever only dear,
In Joy or sorrow, peace or danger,
Then start not, love tits but tear
Then start not at a trembling stranger.
Iweep not for the wealth we had,
Or fashions idle splendor feeted
Oh no--'tis that thou iookest sad
IT'S for thy signs so oft repeated
Thou dear one, smile, as once thou smil'd,
Ifbut for me thy tears are flowing;
Some little cot--lone, simple, wild,
Where nameess flowers around are growing,
Shall shine palace proud to me,
If thou art there to point my duty
Delightful scene while bless'd by thee,
Each morn shall breathe of peace and beauty.
Tho cheeks that glow'd. and hearts that vow'd,
Are gone. when fortune fails to cheer thee
Yet love far happier from the crowd,
One heart unchanged, is beating near thee
Tho all those sunshine friends are flown,
Who throng'd our blooming summer bower
Oh say thou art not all alone
PIf share-TlI cheer this adverse hour
Nay, sigh not thus--tho' thou dost see
Tears wrap my cheek in pensive sadness,
lis extacy to mourn with thee,
Yet bid thee hope for days of gladness
Wealth is not bliss--Look brightly round,
Recall past scenes of peace and pleasure,
When, on Passaic's banks, we found
Love, simple love, hfe's truest treasure
How oft, at twilight's holy calm,
Beside that dear secluded river,
We drank the valley breeze's balm
Was there one rowing wish! Oh never.
Then was the maple trembling green,
With some lone fountain, mildly sporting,
Sweet emblem of the happy scene
Serenely bright and ever counting!
And love-true love-doth yet remain,
With thy fond wife's unalter'd bosom
Nor wilt thou feel regret or pain,
While Heaven leaves one fadeless blossom
On thou art loveler far to me-
Far dearer in this hour of sorrow
For can think of only thee
Wish for thy sake brighter morrow
S., OF NEW JERSEY.
