THIN LITTLE FOOT

Ny boy, as gently on my breast,
From infant sport thou sink'st to rest,
And on my hand feel thee put,
la playful! dreams thy little foot,
ihe thrilling touch sets every string.
o. my ful! heart quivering;
For ali l think, what chart can show.
Tho ways through which this foot may got
It's print will be, in childhood's hours
Traced il the garden, round the flowersi
But youth viii bid il leap the rills--
Bathc in the dcws of distant hills
lloam DER the Wales and venture out,
When ripper years would pause and doubt;
Nor brave the pass, nor try the brink,
Where youths ungarGed foot may sink.
But what, when manhood tints thy cheek.
wal be the ways this foot may seck'
Is it to lightly pace the deck2
To- helpless, slip from off the wreck,
Or wander DER foreign shore,
Returning TO thy home no more,
Until the bosom, now thy pillow,
Is low and cold beneath tho willow'
Or is it for tbs battles plain,
Beside tho slayer and the slain1
I'LL there its final ,tep be takcn---
Ihero sleep thine eyes, no moro to wakoa,
1T Is TO glory or TO shame
To suily or TO gild thy name--
Is ii TO happiness or wo,
This little foot is made TO goc
But wheroso'er its lines may fall.
Whether in cottage o. III hall,
o, may it ever shuu the ground
Whereer His foot had not been found.
Who on his path below has shed
a living light, that all may tread
Upon his earthly step; and none
Fer dash the .t0Ot against a stone!
Yet if thy way is marked by fate,
As guilty, dark and dcsolate,--
II thou must float, by vice ana crin.o.
wreck, upon tho stream of time,
Oh! rather than behold that day,
Ia know this foot, in l;Chtsone play,
Moulo bound, with gai!t!ess infant gloe.
Upon the sod that shelters me.
