THE GYPSY'S WARNING

THE GYPSY'Ss WARNING
Mark wonder bag that mutters as she goes;
She deals in charms--can read the Book o
Fate, ~ .s.,e
And tell the future with unerring skill;
Oae of the Gypsy tribes, whom maids consul
When silver spoons are missing-or wher
Love
Beats an alarum in their tender hearts.
Beneath yon hedge sawt them stand,
The Gypsy held the maiden's hand;
And as its lines she paused to trace,
She gaz'd upona an aaxioas face.
] mark,d them both the moon was hsgh,
And pure and cloudless was the sky;
And as listen'd in the shade,
The Sybil thus addressed the maid:
Maiden, thou would'st have told to thee
The secret filthy destiny;
Then, on this palm now PLACID in mine,
For thee I'll read each mystic line.
s1'is fair hand--a fairer one
These aged eyes ne er gaz'd upon;
But ah these signs too well betray
That clouds viii cross thy summers day!
This is the line of hope, and this
Shall be the mark oflove and bliss,
Bctthat it ends abruptly here
Oh! maiden, thou hast much to fear.
A dark ey'd man will cross thy way,
Thy guileless bosom to betray;
And he will use his honied tongue
To win thee-beautiful and young!
Maiden--what means that boding sigli5
Thou hast already met his eye;
Thy ear hath drunk his accents sweet.
Unconscious ofthelr deep deceit.
lsee 'tis so-thy cheek IS pale,
Thou dost not Xix to hear thetale;
Blu. thou his proffer'd lore must sPurn;
Or thine will meet a base return.
Thou hast pure and polished brow,
'Tis lovely in the moonlight now;
Thou hast an eye, beneath whose nd
The softest hight of love IS hid:
So much the worse, for can trace
Uuon that pure and polished place,
Whose wilderness shames the feath'ry snow
Ere vet it touches earth below.
Impassion'd thoughts--fond hopes and feel
ings,
A soul awaketo Loves revealings;
A heart that dotted and believed!
Was wretched-and deceived!
Weep not-weep not-but steel thy soul
AGAINST deceitful Loves control;
His power once rooted IN thy breast,
Then farewell happiness and rest.
Maiden, my skill can only see
Thus far into thy destiny;
The rest remains conceal'd from view,
Behind yon canopy of blue.
The gypsy paus'd-the maiden sigh'd--
Aheaying sigh she turn d to hide;
Then slow and sadly bent her way
TO yon low tenement of clay.
While muttering words ofmagic power,
The Sybil sought her woody bower;
And to cheat the Meeting time,
Aiused my sad feelings into rhyme.

ny BERNARD BARTON,


Where burns the lov'd hearth brightest,
Cheering the social breastl
""here beats the fond heart highest,
Its humblest hopes possess'di
Where is til smile of sadness,
or meek-eyed patience born,
Worth more than those of glsdncss
Which Mirth's brightcheek adorns
pleasure is mark'd by Aeetness,
To those who ever roam;
While griernsef has sweetness
At Home dear Home
There blend the ties that stregthen
Our hearts in hours grief,
The silver links that lengthen
joys visits when most brief;
There eyes in all their splendor
Are vocal to the heart,
And glances gay or tender
Fresh eloquence impart.
Then, dost thsu sigh for pleasure
o do not widely roam,
,Rut seek that hidden treasure
AT Home dear Home
Does pure religion charm thee
Far more than aught below
IWould'st thou that she should arm thee
Against the hour of WOO
Think not she dwelleth only
In temples built for prayer;
For home itself is lonely
Unless her smiles be there.
The devotee NAV falter,
the bigot blindly roaml
IF worshipless her altar
AT Home dear Home.
Love over it presideth,
With meek and watchful awe,
Its daily service guideth,
And shows its perfect law,
rthere thy faith shall fail thee,
If there no shine be found,
What can thy prayers avail thee
With kneeling crowds aroundf
Go leave thy gift unoiferr'd
Beneath Religions dome,
And BE her first fruits proFer'd
\ Home dear Home
