TO "BEAUTY.~
The morn is up! wake, Beauty, wake,
The flower is on the lea,
The blackbird sings within tho brake,
The thrush 10 on the tree;
Forth to the balmy fields repair,
And let the breexes mild
Lift from thy brow the falling hair,
And fan my little child
Yet If thy step be mid the dcws,
Beauty. be sure to change your shocsl
It's noon! the butterfly springs up,
High from her couch Of rest,
And scorns the little blue-bell cup
Which all night long she prcss'd.
Away. Wen seek the wanut,s shade
And pass the sunny nour,
The bee within the rose is laid,
And wells him in the flower;
Mark not the lustre of his wing,
Beauty! be careful OF Insisting!
lis eve! bot the retiring ray
halo deigns TO cast
Round scenes on which il shonc all day.
And gilds them TO the last;
Thus, ere thine eyelids close in sleep.
Let Memory deign TO fee
Far DER the mountain and the deep,
To cast one beam ON me,
Yes, Beauty! tits mine Utmost PRAYER
But don't forget to curl your hair. r. II.
