.Ey MRS. AMELIA Il. wELEY.
Oh, for the blight aud pladsomc hours,
W hen hike a wandering Strc;tia,
My spirit caught from earth and sky
The hight oi every beam;
Wien, II INTO my laughing eye
a tear drop Glanced 10 start,
Twas blnISIled in moment bv
The sunshine OF the heart.
When mnsIng ON the happy past,
The first spring time of lite,
When every tone of " md and wave
" it'll melody was rife,
W hen all youths hopes and promises,
Those ralnbows oi my sky,
Dance forth in fairy visions
l3ei"re 'iiy wandering eye.
My heart is with the leaprg MIS-,
That mulmur round ;hc home,
W. here first my lips wire taught to speak
MY uny icct to roam;
Tie sweet songs OF the happy birds,
The whlspciIu" wild Voiced breeze
That caught the iaint breath of the rose,
And waved among the trees.
How many acknowledgements
Steal gently through the mind,
Lake spirit voices borne along
Upon the wandering wind;
And, as thought leads me back again,
almost seem 10 trace
In each sweet flower, and shrub, aud tree,
'S0nle fond, iamIlar face.
Ills, thought because | smile on all,
That am vain and gay
THAT by the words light llattcry,
might be lu'ed astray;
They k"ow not that my heart oft brcathes
Its fragrance out III Signs,
That sad songs trenblc Oh my lips,
And Tears within my eyes.
My thoughts are all as pure and sweet,
rs when | was chIld,
And all my bright muginngs
Are nst as free and wide;
And were II not Tor one bright link,
Within affections chain,
I'd wish to WANDER to that spot,
And be u child again.
