Around her was fairy scene,
A wilderness o. flowers, ,.
Where slowly deepened days SOIL hu'e
As come the twilight hours
The beech-tree's brown and gnarleo stem
rustic seat had made;
It's swaying foliage lightly cast
A soft and emerald shade.
They wove for her dewy wreath
Ofbuds end blossoms bright,
To crown her, al the festival,
Their radiant queen that night
The maidens hear rhei. mandolin,
A. lilly bells they Irvine;
And softly whisper, "lsadore, =,
What heart SO light as thineF
Bat when they stole, with noise!ess steps,
Across the shaded lawn,
The Joyous melody vas huseed,
The merry smiles were gone;
And tears had dimmed those lnstrous eyes
From which the smiles had fed
AS closer 10 the shelteIing tree
She leans her droonng head.
