Sweets to the sweet farewell !-ShGkspeaTe'
cloud is on my heart and brow
The tears are in nv eyes,
And wishes fond, all idle now,
Are stifed into signs;
As musing on thy early doom,
Thou bud of beauty snatchcd to biooW'
So soon meath milder skies
turn-thy painful struggle past
From what thou art to what thou 0ast+
think of all thy winning ways,
Thy frank but boisterous giee =
Thy arch sweet smiles,-thy coy delays
Tby steps, so light and free,-
Thy sparkling glance, and hasty run,
INV gladness when thy task was done,
And gained thy mothers knee;
Thy CAV good-humored, childish ease,
And all thy thousand arts to please!
Where are they now ?-And where, oh where,
The eager fond caress
The blooming cheek, so fresh and fair,
The lips, all sought to press p
The open brow and laughing eye
The heart that leaped so joyously
(Ah had we loved them less y
Yet there are thoughts can bring relief,
And sweeten even this cup of grief
What hast thou scaped IA thorny scene.
A wilderness of woe
Where many a blast of anguish keen
Had taught thy tears to flow
Perchance some wild and whitening grief,
Had scared thy summers earliest leaf,
In these dark bowers below
Or sickening chills Of hope deferred
To strife thy gentle thoughts had stirred !
What hast thou escaped l-Life's weltering sea,
Before the storm arose;
Whilst yet its gliding waves were free
From aught that marred repose
Safe from the thousand throes of PAIN
Ere sin sorrow breathed stain
Upon thine opening rose!
And who can calmly think of this,
Nor envy thee thy doom of bliss?
culled from homes beloved bowers,
To deck thy last long sleep,
The brightest-hued most fragrant flowers
That summers dews may steep =
The rose-bud-embem meet-was there -
The violet blue, and jesamine fair,
That dropping, seemed to weep 3
And, now, | add this lowlier spell =
Sweets to the passing sweet Farewell!
