Where brawl o'er shallow beds the streams un-
A Iisping voice and glancing eyes are near,
And ever-restless steps OF one, who now
Gathers the blossoms uf her fourth bright year.
As plays a sladness o'er her fair young brow.
As break the varied scene upon her sight,

For have taught her. with delighted eye.
To gaze upon the mountains; to behold,
With deep affection, the pure, ample sky,
Aud clouds along the blue abysses rolled;
To love the song Of waters, and to hear
The melody Of winds with charmed ear.
Here have escaped the city's sitting heat,
Its horrid sounds, and its polluted air;
And, where the seasons mildee fervors beat,
Aud gales that sweep the forest borders. bear
The song Of bird and sound of running stream,
Have come awhile 10 wander ard to dream.
Av, fame thy 6ercest, sun! thou canst not wake,
In this pure air. the plague that walks unseen;
The maze leaf and the maple boug Oh hut take
From thy fierce heats deeper, glosSier green;
The mountain wind, that faints not in the ray,
Sweeps the blue streams of pestlence away.

He stoops him from his vast cerulean hall,
He seems the breath of celestial clime,--

THE EVENING STAR.
Oh! sweetly shines the summer sun,
When heaven from clouds is free,
And brightly CLEANS the moonlight on
Field, rock. aud forest tree.
But to the pensive heart OF love,
Oh sweeter than these by far
1t is with devious step TO rove,
Beneath the evening star.
To others give the festive hall.
Where wine cups shine in light;
The music of the crowded ball,
With beauty's lustre bright;
But give to me the lovely dell,
Oh sweeter than these BY far;
When pine trees wave and waters swell,
Beneath the evening star.
The days are past that have seen,
And ne'er again shall see,
When nature with brighter green,
O'erspread the field aud tree.
Though ioyless not the present day.
Yet sweeter than ii by far,
IT'S On the past TO muse and stray,
Beneath the evening star.
For all the future cannot give
What spareIess time has left;
And oh! since thou hast ceased to live,
A vacant word is left,
turn me to my days Of love,
The sweetest on earth by far,
And oft in thought with thee | rove,
Beneath the evening star.
