He thought on former times and sigh'd--
Beauty was veil'd to himi
And grandeur glitt'rinS in is pride,
And novelty, were dim.
And memry told the evening when
Night came--to leave him not again
lie thought upon the sacred day
When marriage VOWS were giy'n.
When wit and beauty made him gay.
And earth appear'd a heavens
When pleasure hung her lovely bow
Ger all the storms that ragd below
But one delight Of nuptial life,
That husband could not know
For While his faithful tender wife,
Gazed fondly on his brow,
lie could not meet her speaking eye.
With loves bewitching sympathy.
And tho his children climbed lis knee.
And sung their songs Of mrth,
And love imagin'd them to be
The farest things on earth,
He saw not the peculiar grace
That kindled in each smiling face.
o. dark and dreadful was the doom
That fate had ocr him thrown,
Mid flowers, he looked not on their bloom,
Mid friends, he was alone;
A star set in a starry sky,
But hid from all its brilliancy.
Hope sprung to life--thc hand Of skill
His misty cycs might clear,
And to his view, i'll sunshine, still
The lov'd Of earth appear.
Twas so--his soul looked forth in light
Then backward shrunk in deeper night.

Eean from his anxious wife
lie saw the sparkling eyes, awhile,

And sight was not--but mcmry made
A sketch of all that could not fade.
