THE LOVERS.

BY MRS. sIGoURNEY.
The watch light of the lovers strcam'd
Forth from their lattice high,
AS lost i'll deep discourse they safe,
While summer winds went by.
The bandog howl'd. the clouds did lower
Winds shook the Willows stem,
The clock toll'd out the mdnipht bour
What were such sounds to them.
Oh, steal not on their tranced speech
OF smile. and murmur'd sigh,
Shake not the dew drop from the rose,
Dim not the opal's dye;
For life hath many path of thorn
To wound The feet that rove;
But YET no SUMMER spot than this
Break not the trance of love.

THE SHIP is READY.
BY MISS GOULD.


Fare thee well! the ship is ready,
Ana the breeze is fresh and steady,
Hands are fast the anchor weighing;
High in the air the sireamer's playing;
Spread the sails, the waves are swelling
Proudly round the buoyant dwelling.
Fare thee we'll and when at sea,
Think of those who sigh for thee;
Fare thee well and when a, sea,
Think Of those who sigh for thee,
When from land and home reccding,
AND from hearts that ache TO bleeding,
Think of those behind who love thee,
While the sun is bright above thee!
Then as down to ocean glancing,
With the waves his rays are dancing,
Think how long the night will be
To the eyes that weep for thee.
Whenrhe lonely night-wa,ch keeping,
All below thee still and sleeping
AS the needle points the quarter
Ger the wide and trackless water,
Let thy vigils ever find thee
Mindful Of the friends behind thee!
Let thy bosom's magnet be
Turned to those who wake for thee.
When with slow and gentle motion, (.
Heaves the bosom of The ocean
While in peace thy bark is riding, ).
And the silver moon is gliding !
Ger the. sky with tranquil splendour, =
Where the shining hosts attend herr i,
t'HIe brig shtesf= visions 6s /; s
Country. home, and friends, 10 thee /. =. :
When tho tempest hovers o'cr thee.
Danger, wreck and death before thee,
While the sword of fire is cleaning,
Wild the winds, the torrent streaming;
Then pious suppliant bending.
Let thy thoughts to heaven ascending,
Reach the mercy seat, to be
Met by prayers that rise for thee!
