THE FROZEN TEAR.

On beds OF snow the moon beam slept,
And chilling was the midnight gloom,
When by the damp grave Ellen wepi-
Sweet maid! il was her lovers tomb.
A warm tear gushed-the wintry air
CONCEALED it as it flowed away:
All night 1t lay an ice-drop there
AT morn il gli,ter'd in the ray.
An Angel, wandering from his sphere,
Who saw this bright, this frozen gem.
To dew-eyed Pity brought the tear,
And hung it on her diadem.
