THE WHISPERING NOlCES.
Softly speak the fow'rets of love-
In language man can never write;
Soft the passion of the dove,
Breath'd 10 the winds OF Heavens light.
How every whisper gently steals
To that fcnd heart It makes 10 THRILL
That cannot tell the JOY i; feels
Yet lists with eager pleasure still.
There's music in the wreath send,
A gaudy chaplet for thy brow;
And still, this pleading one may lend
Some little note Of sweetness now
The Amariilis first send,
Sweet love, an emblem bright OF thee;
The cedar next. 10 thee will lend
It's whispering softness all for me.
The Mignonette next entwine,
The rcn reflection of thy shape;
But in my wreath place the pine
That hopes where il should needs escape
The Byzantine thy wreath shall grace,
To tell its soothings 10 the soul,
As gazing in thy lovely face,
For me the Bayleaf ! enrol.
The blooming Daisy, next will speak
Of thee, another emblem too
But /, the deep red Pink will seek,
And one sweet Hyacinth Of blue.
The Lily white and rich Musk Rose,
And Orange blossom, all of thee;
And here in mine there shall repose,
The Jonquill whispering for me-
The Austrian Rose completes thy wreath
With dark red rose buds cust'ring there,
While one red Tulips honeyed breath
Shall breathe iis vows unto the fair.
Thus gathring In chaplet now,
The brightest tokens OF the fields
place upon thy radiant brow
The purest crown that Nature yields.
But mine, where trembling hopes entwine,
And mingle sweetness, sweet with sweet,
TO thy guardians hands resign,
And proudly lay down al thy feet
