addressed by Young Hve to a De,pondin;, Husband.

ressed by a Young TpVe to a Depending Kis5a
Come rouse thee, dearest its not we'll
To let thy spirit brood
Thus darkly DER the cares that swell
LIES current like flood
81 As brooks, and torrents, rivers, all
Increase the guisin which they fail,
Such thoughts, by gathering up the rills
or lesser grief, but spread tho ills:
And with their gloomy shades conceal
The landmarks hope would else reveal.
Come, roase thee now-I know thy mind,
And would its strength awaken:
Proud, gifted, noble, ardent, kind
Strange thou should.t be thus shaken!
But rouse, refresh each energy,
And be what heaven intended thee,
Nor sink beneath the frowns Of fate,
.Bntprovc thy spirit firmly great
would not see thee bend below,
The angry storms Of earthly wo.
Full WE'LL know the generous soul
Which charms thee into life,
Each spring which can its powers control,
Familiar with thy wife
For dcem'st thou she could stoep to bind
Her fate unto common mind
The eagle like ambition, nurscd
From childhood i'm her heart had first
Consumed with its Pronctnrn flame
The shrine that sunk her so to shame.
Then rouse thee, dearest, from The dream
That f-ttcrs now thy powers;
Shake off this gloom-hopc sheds n beam
To gid each cloud that towers;
And though al present seems so far
The wished for goal, the guiding star
With peaceful ray, would light thee on
Until its bounds be nobly won;
That quenohless ray, thou'lt ever prove,
Ia fond, undying, welded love.
