The night was warm the pool was still,
No sound was heard from lake or hill,
Save where, upon log deoay'd,
A Bull frog croak'd his serenade.
l. Wake, .frogess Of my love, awake,
And listen to my song;
The heron roosts far from the lake,
The pickerel his rest does take
The water weeds among.
Q. The sun has put his fire out,
The dayight's hardly seen,
No enemy is round about,
Then, frogess poke thy lovely snout
Above the waters green.
s. For lonely am sitting here,
Upon rotten log;
Oh, cast away all idle fear,
And tor moment sweetly cheer
The sight Of thy bull-irog.
4 Oh, hop with me to other pools,
Where we may live in love;
Where no rude wind the warm lake cools,
And where do dwell no human fools,
Those two leg'd things above NED.

TO IRENE,

List love, list, DER Adria's sea
Soft plays moonlight smile,
And with the waier's revelry,
Joins many laughing isle.
The gondolier has sunk to sleep
Upon the weary oar,
And giant shadows ghost-like creep
O'er silent plain, and reach the deep,
beyond the bending shore.
They tell me that in oceans far
Floats many spicy land
Where pennon never waved for war
Nor trumpet gave command;
Where one eternal summers light
Shows ever-blooming flowers,
And where the stars that gem the night
Are wornan's eyes, which make bright,
Fond heaven of earthly bowers.
And say they true when thus they tell
OF chimes so wondrous fair'
Oh then we'll breast the heayng swell
And pass existence there.
Wen Gull those flowers, we'll see those eyes
With starry l,istre blest;
And life beneath those sunny skies
Be one ne'er ending Paradise,
One dream on beauty's breast.
