NEGLECTED it is lying,
Beneath the wind-shorn bough;
And who will care that leaf to rear
From its low pillow now
Fair childhood oft, in infant CLEO,
It's poor form tramples thoughtlessiy'
One moon ago 'twas waving
Upon its native tree
In dalliant mood, each wind then wooed
Its beauty wantonly.
Tho hnm-bird nestled meath its shade,
And quafIed the dew, in gems arrnyed'
Upon its velvet surface,
All bathed in crystal light.
Whone'er the CLEAN Of solar beam
Beat there its matin flight,
The rain dispensed its moisture bland,
Aud taught its tender form expand
Blu, those bright days are over;
The breeze is now the blast;
Its hues so gay have fled away,
And left the mournfu caste
OF wasting death-thut mongrel shade,
Which tells of loveliness decayed'
