whole medical profession opposed it, but further,

/ loved you long and dearly!

My lifc's bright dream, and early
Has come again.

My love and thy derision,
Florance Vane!

or sweetest rhyme;
Thy hear, was like river
Without main
Would | had loved thee never
Florance Vane!
The ruin gray and hoary,
The ruin old,
Where thou did'st list my story,
At even told
That spot, the lines elysian,
Of sky and plain,
I treasure in my vision,
Florance Vane.
Bat fairest, culdest, wonder,
Thy glorious clay,
The green sod lieth under,
Alas, the day!
And 'lis boutless 10 remember
Thy disdain,
To quicken loves pale ember,
Florance Vane.
The lilies Of the valley
O'er young graves sweep;
The pansies love to daily
Where maidens sleep;
May their bloom and beauty, yieing.
Never wanel
Where thine earthly part is lying,
Florance Vane!
