WRITTEN IN TIE SAND.

ln merry boyhood there was one,
Who shared my youthful heart;
We sworc no fortune and no fato
Our dcs,inics should part.
Rut az we Aain to manhood grew,
Time broke that golden band,
And proved that mutual oath ofours
Mas ,eriftca IN dic sand.
Youth brought with IL u gayer dream
A fond and loving one
Smiled ON me, 'till loves ties seemed wound
Too fast 20 be undone;
Faithlhl 'till death We pledged ourselves
With willing heart and hand;
We lived to know that plighicd VOW
Has tcratot ~ tie sand.
AMnirio~ whispered me to trust
His promised path to fame,
Aud with devotion essayed
To play his desperate game;
What gained I, hut the blasting Gre
Afy own wild hopes had famed
Alas, tho promise pursued
Has rritteR az me SAID.
WEALTH tempted me with golden boards;
Her proficrs were to me,
Like green and sunny isles to those
Long tossed upon the sea;
grasped ut gain, and, day by day,
New schemes OF profit planned;
The Turing phantom proved ut last
"A writing ia the sand.
a crafty FRIEND, in joyous guisc,
Upon my sorrows stole,
And with a mad'ning 'suasion urged
The pleasures of the bowl;
l listencd-wo bctidc tho hour,
Till ffiendless, doomed, and band,
saw tho mocking demons words
Were rritten IN thc sand.
