IMPROMPTU,

IMPROMPTU,
OF ALEXANDRIA.
Where art thou, child of the sunny brow,
Bot late we saw so blithe and gay?
In garland flowers so sportive decked,
Upon the spring.tide, festal day!
Thine eve Of light looked laushinsly
As maidens crowned thee Queen OF May.
We dreamed not then times chronicler
So fast had reckoned thy young days,
As DER the green-turf joyously
We saw thee wend in rural plays,
And shake so wild thy raven tresses
Dishevelied 10 the zephyr .breeZes.
And now, thy sylph.like Form I see,
As erst one eve of lovely June,
When thou from Hillvert slided down,
Threw ope the gate and bid US in;
Thy mother sent thee from the steep,
But little thought SO suon to weep!
And we had deemed brighter day,
Sweet child. had writ thy destiny!
Aad thou vert yet to throa spell
Around thee in the circle gIee,
And charm the lover and the friend,
AS on thy youthful course should wend.
But now they tell me thou art sleeping
Colby beneath the willows shade,
And vigils, side by side, are keeping
The sisters graves but newly made,
And DER thee sweeps the winter storm,
That wakes its saddest requieum!
And we will weep for thee, sweet child,
As back we trace our thoughts the while
To what thou vast, and all we hoped
For thee, so Young and beautiful;
For we had never dreamed that one
Like thee should seek an early tomb!
And we will hope chaplet now, brow,
Fairer than May.aowers, vrea,hs thy
And thou = younger seraph art.
Among the bright aud pure in heart;
Twill cheer US thus to think Of thee,
But e'er, sweet child, with tears twill be!
