And sill around her early shrine
Fresh ilowen their lcwy elIap!cts twine,
Young Love his brightest garland wreathes,
And Eden's richest incense breathes
Cur hopes are f;own--yet parted hours
Stil In the depths OF memory Ito,
Like night gems IN the silent blue
OF summers deep and brJiiaM skyi
And Loves bright flashes seem again
TO fall upon the glowing chain .....
or our existence Can be
That all i but u mockery!

A xeed on Times dark waicrs thrown,
wreck on lfe's wild heaving seal

lis spell Is DER my being cast
And still 10 Loves remembered ewes,
With all but hope, my spirit cleaves ...
The coming yoars-ileir shadows sweep
Like clouds o'er BEINGS weltered Hood
And life will be, as II has been,
A mingled cup Of FIRE ami blood =
cannot pluse-I may not rest
Cliiil Is the life blood in my breast
Aud Beauty sheds its plrting geam
On Dcsolation'5 lonely stream.
Lady adica my farewell words
Are on my rcand their wild How
Is llin!y dying ON the chords
Broken and tInolesS.-De il 50 -
Thy naIae-- oh II may never swell
My strain again-yet long twill dwell
Shriued IN NV Neutrality-suspicious.
A treasured word-a cherished token.
