SOMETHING NEW.
ny REV. RALPH HoYT.

Still signs the world for something new
For something new;
lmporily me, imploring you,
Al! hapess world, what will il do'
lmpoting me, imploring you,
For something NEw
Each pleasure, tasted, fades away;
1t fades away;
Nor you, nor /, can bid il stay;
A dew-jrop trembling on spray;
A rainbow at the close Of day;
Nor you, nor l. can bid it stay;
1t fades away
Fill up hfe's chalice to the brm;
Up to the brim;
'Ts only capriciOus whm,
A dreamy phantom, fitting dim,
Inconstint still for her, or him
'Tis only capricious whim,
Up to the brim
Rhe, young and fair, expects delight;
Expects delight;
Forsooth, because the morn is bright,
She deems it never will be night
The youth hath not Il wing for flight;
Forsooth, because the morn is bright,
Expects delight!
The rose, once gathered, cannot please;
1t cannot please;
All ! simple maid, a rose to seize
That only blooms TO tempt and tease;
With thorns to rob the heart OF case
All simple maid, rose to seize;
1t cannot please
IT'S winter, but she pines for spring;
She pines for springs
No bliss its frost and iollies bring;
A bird of passage on the wing;
Unhappy, discontinued thing;
No bliss its frost and iollies bring;
She pines for spring
Delicious May, and azure skies;
And azure skies;
With flowers OF paTadisial dyes;
Now, maiden, happy be and wisc
All JUNE can only charm her eyes
With flowers of purudisial dyes,
And azure skies
Tn, glowing tranquil summer time;
The summer time;
Too listless in maiden's prime,
Dull melancholy pLntomime;
Oh for gay autumnal cline:
Too lstess in "a muden's prime,
The summer time.
October with earth's richest store
Earth's richest store;
Alas insipid as before;
DAYS, months, and seasons, Ger and DER
Remotcst lands their treasures pour;
Alas pid as before,
Earth's richest store
Love nestles in that gentle breast;
That gentle breast;
All Love will never let it rest;
The cruel;sly, ungrateful guest;
A viper in linnet's nest;
All Love will never let it rest,
That gentle breast!
Could she embark on Fashions tide;
On Fashions tide;
How giily might maiden glide -
Contentmcnt, innocence, and pride,
All stranded upon either side -
How gaily might maidon glide
On FASHIONS tide
All, maiden, time will make thee smart;
viii make thee smart;
Some new, and keen, ind poisoned dart,
Will pierce, at last, that restless heart;
Youth, friends, and beauty will depart
Some new, and keen, aud poisoned dart,
Will make it smart!
go pants for change the tickle fair
The tickle fair;
A feather floating in the mir,
Still waited here and waited there;
No charm, no hazard worth her care
A feather floating in tho air,
The tickle fair!
Hr,
How sad his lot, the hapless swain,--
The hapless swain;
With care and toll, in heat and rain,
To speed the plough or harvest-wain,
Still reapng only fields OF grain.
With care and toll, in heat and rain,
The hapless swain !
Youth, weary youth, twill soon be past
Twill soon be past
His MANHooD's happiness shall last,
Renown und riches, tai and fast
Their potent CHAINS shall round him cast
His mtnhood's happiness shall last -
Twill soon be pdst
Now toiling up ambitions steep;
Ambitions steep;
The rugged path is hard to keep;
The spring, how far the well, how deep
All me in lolly's bower asleep!
The rugged path is hard to keep;
Ambitions steep!
The dream fulfilled rank, fortune, fame,--
Rank, fortune, fame
VAN fuel for celestial flame!
He wins ind wears Il glittering name
He signs his longing soul the same;
Vain fuel for Gel iltnl ilame-
Rank, fortune, fame
Sweet beauty wins with Cupid's bow;
With Cupd's bow;
Can she transhx him now 3-nh no
Amid tho initest flowers that blow,
ThI torment but alishts--to 70;
Can she transix him now ?-ah no
With Cnpid's bcw!
Indulgent Heaven, oh grant bu, this;
Oh grant but this;
The boon shall be enough of bliss,
a Home, with true affections kiss
To mend whate'er may hap amiss
Oh, grant but this
The Eden wen :-lnsatlale still
Insaiat9 still -
A wider, liirer range, he will
Some mountain higher than his hill,
somo prospect hncy's map to fill
wider, fdirer range, he will
lnsatiate still
From maid to mRtrnn, son 10 sire
From son to sire
Each bosom burns with quenchlcss fire
Whore life's vain pbantnses expire
In some new phnniX Of desire
Each bosom burns with quenchless fro,
From son to sire
Still signs the world for something new
For something nav;
lmplorlng me, imploring you
Some will-o'wisp to help pursue;
An hopless world, what will /, do!
lmploring me, implotlng you
foR SOMETHING Nav
