o! sigh not for the fair young bride,
Gone in her opening bloom,
Far from her kindred, loved and tried,
To glad another home;
Already are the gay brief days
OF girlish triumph done,
And tranquil happiness rcpays
The early wood and won.
Fear shall invade her peace no more.
Nor sorrow wound the breast
Her passing rivalries are DER,
Her passing doubts at rest;
The gilttering haunts of worldly state
Love whispers her 10 shun,
Since scenes of purer bliss await
The early wood and won.
Here is young and guileless heart,
Confiding, fond. and warm,
tnsullicd by the worlds vain mart.
Unscathed by PASSIONS storm.
In ''hope deferred" she hath not pined,
Till Hopes sweet course was run
No chains of sad remembrance bind
The early wood and won.
Her smiles and songs have ceased to grac
The halls of festive mirth,
But woman's safest resting place
Is by a true ones hearth;
Her hours of duty, joy, and love
In brightness have begun;
Peace be HER portion from above
