WHEN is THE TIME TO LOVE

A matron on whose face serene
Sat sweet content and smiling JOY,
Moved in the cheerful evening scene,
Blessing and blest in her employ.
] said to her in careless mood,
''Tell me, when is the time to love7
When can the heart be most subdued--
When may we best its value proven
A shade of thought passed DER her face,
And fingered in her chastened smile;
Her varying cheek led me to guess
That memory was at work the while.
She answered, with serious brow,
"This question claims your deepest tho't,
Listen, and / will give you now
The lessons by experience bought.
"At sweet sixteen, that troublous day,
When futtering thoughts will from us stray,
Like beauteous birds on wayward wing,
That come and go, and round us fling
Sweet hopes, by whose delusive light
Earth's views seem changeless, pure and
bright.
twas then knew a youth, whose face
Was faultless as his form of grace;
His waving curls of auburn hue
Shaded his eyes of heavenly blue.
And when l saw their dreamy light,
Earth seemed like heaven, as fair and bright.
priced this youth all else above,
And revelled in dream of love.
But soon "a change came DER my Dream
It faded slow, but sure away;
Jaw twas but the transient beam
Of 'fancy's FASH not reasons ray
cat twenty, when the fiery blood,
Rushes strong, wild. reckless flood,
met tall. dark-visiged man,
Whose eye of flame each heart could scan;
His high smooth brow was fair to view,
O'erhung by locks of ebon hue.
And oh! his smile! it thrilled my breast.
And robbed me soon of peace and rest.
How wildly, madly, then loved!
To reason blind, deaf when reproved,
felt that reason must depart,
And hope, and life, forsake my heart,
Ere from its idolit could range,
Or know one shadow of change.
But change again ''came DER my dream
When passion by its force was spent,
Imaeination's wavering beam
Faded when calmer light was lent.
cat twenty-five, when best we learn
To bid the wandering thought return;
When feeling shuns the rocky steep,
And flows along more still and deep,
l met another, on whose face
only sought soul to trace.
/ learned his worth, and when at length
My heart had proved his friendships strength
gave him all ! had to give,
And sweetly now in peace live.
NO further change came DER my Dream
For waking judgement chose the path
Where brightly shines hopes precious beam,
Around my never aying faith
