The spirit of the law is equality and

Ala. 10 WOO in distant lands
The smiles that fate denies me here,
Iav. ard burst the siiken bands
That absence will but more endear
Bu, though no mpre al ev'ning's close,
We sit beneath the ACCUSTOMED tree,
To watch the twilight shut the rose
At that calm hour remember me
And when the twilight dim is DER,
And the bright moon rides high in heaven
When, through the blue aerial floor,
Sparkle the silver lights oil even
Then, while the placid radiance beams,
On marble brow and snowy hand -
There in the light of rosy drcams,
Let thine sdorel's image stand.
And when again returning day,
Fraugat with new bliss to thee and thine,
Wakes thee from visions sight and CIV,
To bend at Heavens eternal shrine
There, while thy CRATE full thoughts arise,
And Co., propItious smiles on thee;
Before the Great Supreme, ail-wise,
In holy pray'r remember me
Thus would live in ev'ry thought,
Blended with all of dear and bright
Be near thee in each favoI'd spot,
A thing of happiness and light
Thus iiink OF him who loves thee we'll
Would the pale moon my page might be,
On her clear disc each hour would tell
How fondly remember thee.
