To my Wife,
ON RETURNING FROM "A JOURNEY.

Oh! never more from thee I'll stray,
NV own beloved wife!
/ am not happy when away
From thee-my mole than life!
There may be fairer cheeks than thine,
And lips of roster hue
But they cannot tempt this heart of mine,
That beats alone for you.
Mid all the glare and gaudy show
That fills the world we see,
There is no home for me to go
Like that which shelters thee.
Fa,igued by rambling, return
To my beloved home
And as our rich Affections burn,
/ wish no more to roam,
I've been where naughty Beauty sought
To lure me by her smile;
And thousands never would have fought
Against the syren's vile.
But repelled the tempting foe
thought alone of thee
And then, mid all her PASSIONS glow,
She could not conquer me.
There my be fai,er cheeks than thine,
And lips ofsosier hue,
But they cannot tempt this heart of mine
That beats alone for you.
One smile from thee hath power to wake
A thousand joys within,
And oh! it's for thy own dear sake
That am free from sin.
Exert thy power, and keep me free
seek no more to roam
Forever will stay with thee,
And love my humble home.
And oh! if ] can call the light
Ofjoy within thine eye
My heart, rejoicing at the sight.
Shall cease to weep and sigh.
