He took that fair, that nt'e hand,

Which oreathed "Fa ewell"-it was their last.

That she was row snolber's bride
With frenzy's fire his bosom burned,
He flew in Misty from her side.
They never met again: bui, o.
He pincd in secret al his lot!
His grief would no abatement know,
Tie lovely one he nr'er forgot.
He left his country, left bis home,
His home So dear 10 hin before,

Her grief, ter zoe She could not hide,
Ne joy. no peace, cid she possess
Deck.d iR her costly robes, her eye,
Which nrce bright as those jewels shone,
Grew dimner, and that frequent sigh
Revealed grief she v oud not own.
Yes, sh- sac seed for geld
To one she did not, could 70, love;
Hef hard as hlS, hut hat uue heart
Meier welded till they met above!
