MET HIM IN THE CROWD TONIGHT
BY MARY l.. LAWSON.

met him mid the crowd to light
They told ne wonld meet MN mere
Nv lin cyan cav mine e*ss were bright,
: irIKnew no tiyught of care:
toncbed his hand amid the dance
And passed hin, as a stranger by;
trembed meath his searching glance,
And changed 10 smiles Ii rising sighs
II was weary part 10 play,
Yet deceived the thoughiless throng;
mingled with the fair aud gay,
breathtd the brightes! Jest and song.
My seeming mirth the crowd begued;
And he too paused my words to hear,
Gut only sighed when others smiled
He did not think my JOY sincere.
For when chanced to meet his gaze,
There was eohness in his eye
That spoke 10 me Of other days,
nd woke dream Of memory
a look, half sadness, and half regret,
That probed the weakness of my breast
Though brief tie space our gIances met,
Within that space the truth he guessed.
/ turned, with clouded brow, aside;
He he'd no right my soul to see,
When near him stood his lovely bride,
His chosen. when his choice was free:
Yet her that had deemed so blest,
Won not his tickle worship now;
Soon weared Of love possessed,
He thought net Of his pighted VOW.
And when saw he strove to wake
In me feeling Of the past,
1 scorned him for my rivals sake,
And from my soul his image cast.
The love, long narsed in lonely tears,
Fled from me like dream Of pain;
My heart may mourn DER wasted years.
But never beat for him again.
ouf eyes in psfting met once more;
My pale cheek caught no deeper shade,
Mine eyes no hidden sorrow wore,
Nor pensive tenderness betrayed;
What bitter pain i, seemed to me
When fret again he met my sight,
But noa, my heart, though cold, is free
Freed with the goze met Tonight.
