FROM THE SPANISH.
A thousand times seek
My lovely Maid
But | am silent still, afraid
That if speak
The maid might frown, and then my heart
would break.
I've oft resolved to tell her all,
But dare not-what woe 'twould be
From doubtful favor's smile, to fall
To the harsh frown of certainty.
Her grace--her music cheers me now;
The dimpled roses on her cheek,
But fear restraints my tongue for how,
How should speak,
When, if she frown'd, my troubled heart
would break.
No! rather I'll conceal my story
In my full hearts most secret cell:
For though feel a doutful glory,
Escape the certainty Of hell.
lose, 'tis true, the bliss Of Heaven
own my courage is but weak;
That weakness may be well forgiven
For should she speak
In words ungentle, o my heart would break.
