TO IALISSA.

Oh. why am I of late so sad
What mortal tongue can answer
The echo comes from one more sad,
Her hope like mine is lost forever.
Oh! how can she still rest in doubt,
OF one whose heart can never change!
Once the thought this heart devout-
Oh! what OH earth has made her change
Oh! Judge me no. by outward show,
Within oft burns the icy mountain
With me all else on earth below,
Is nought, though the world could gain,
Once asked her for her picture,
At my request she did not start
Now | ask it not I've her figure,
Full craven on my heart d.
My eye have payedthe painter
Her form is sealed within my heart
While life still lasts TIL there retain hcr,
Form more perfect than the painters art.
Oh! turn sweet girl, again return.
The power is thine alone to give
Let not this heart forever burn,
But bid, Oh bid, thy lover live.
I've never loved bnt once, no never;
And where heart ike mine is given,
1t fondly loves, and loves forever,
Exchanging as the truth in heaven.
