POETRY.
For The Enquirer.
The Falry'a BoNyer, or Cmpld's Visit.

EU TIC EHqnac.
The Fairy's Bower, or Cupid's Visit.
The moon was up, a j her soii light
Came streaming Ger The hills above
Her brightness clothed a Summers night,
And played upon he home OF Love.
The hines OF night were clustered there,
Dancing on each lovely flower,
Whose perfume, on The gentle ar,
Floated DER the Fairy's Bower.
The lattice oped, and, meath the shade
OF signing myrtle and woodbine gay,
Appeared a form, by wt'chefy mace,
To seal the thrilling heart away.
Her head upon a hand reposlng,
Far whittier than The lily snow,
With silken fringes scarcely closing
On cheeks that cleaned with soi,esl glow.
She slumbered on, whilst gentle RAYS,
In silence, 10 her sweet face crept,
And Cupid locked with burning gaze,
And, loving, kissed her as she slept,
The Fairy woke, and on her tongue
The lips reprool, with trembling lay,
In music OF The heart twas sung,
Sweet as the nigh:-bird's wooing lay.
EnrapIured with a face 50 bright,
With her he left The latticed home,
Where, sleeping in the arms of night,
Lay blushine flowers in all their bloom.
She plucked a nosesay from The sweetest,
And bade him wear il on his breasi;-
Twill fade not, sighed he, till thou sleepest
Where now you bid ii blooming resi.
The night flew on, and %senllest sleep her brigh
eyes closed,
And, on his breast, she dreamed her home was ir
a rose.
