The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-12-03
POETR z.

The following Stanzas are from the ssTale of Pa
raguay," by Southey. They part of the ded-
catory lines addressed by the Poet to his daughter.
How have doated on thine infant smile,
At morning, when thine eyes Enclosed on mine;
How, as the months in swift succession rolPd,
| marked thy human faculties unfold,
And watched the dawning of the light divine:
Something ween thou know'st, for thou hast seen
Thy sisters in their turn such fondness prove,
And felt how childhood in its winning years
The attempered soul to tenderness can move,
This thou can'st tell but not the hopes and fears
With which parents heart doth overflow
The thoughts and cares inwoven with that love-
Its nature and its depth thou dost not, can'st not
know.
The years which since thy birth have passed away
May we'll to thy young retrospect appear
measureless extent like yesterday
To me, SO soon they filPd their short career.
To thee discourse of reason have they brought,
With sense of time and change; and something too,
Of this precarious state of things have taught,
Where abideth never in stay
And OF mortality, a mOurnful thought
Scarcely can'st thou bear
To hear me name the grave, thou knowest not
How large portion of my heart is there
The faces which lov'd in infancy
Are gone and bosom friends of ripper age,
With whom gladly talked of years to come,
Summoned before me to their heritage,
Are in the better world, beyond the tomb.
And have brethren there, and sisters DEAR
And dearer babes | therefore needs must dwell
Often in thought with those whom still love SO
we'll
Thus wilt thou feel in thy maturer mind
When grief shall be my portion, thou wilt fno
Safe consolation in such thoughts these;
| A present refuge in affiicton's hour,
And if ndulgent Heaven thy lot should bless
| With all imaginable happiness
Here shalt thou have my child, beyond all power
! of chance, thy hottest, sureSt, best delight.
| Take therefore now thy fathers latest lay;
Perhaps his last-and treasure in thine heart
The feelings that its musing strains convey.
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-12-03

ON SEEING IN LIST OF NEW MUSIC,
"THE WATERLOO WALTZ"
BY A LADY.
A moment pause, ye British Fair
While pleasures phantom We pursue:
And say, if dance or sprghtly air
Suit with the name of Waterloo.
Glorious was the victory
Chasten'd should the triumph be
Midst the laurels she has won,
Britain weeps for many son.
Veil'd in clouds the morning rose;
Nature seemed to mourn the day
Which consign'd before its close,
Thousands to their kindred CLAW.
How unfit for courtly ball,
Or the giddy festival,
Was the grim and ghastly view,
Ere evening closed on Waterloo
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-12-03
