To MY Wife.

There 10 a mystic thread Of life,
So deeply wreathed with mine alone,
That destiny's relentless knife
At once must sever both or none.
There is form on which these eyes
Have often gazed with fond delight;
BY day that form their joy supplies,
Aad dreams restore 1t through the night.
There is voice whose tones inspire
Such thrills Of rapture through my breast,
] would not hear a seraph choir,
Unless that voice could join the rest.
There is face whose bushes tell
Affections tale upon the check;
Bot paid at one fond farewell,
Procla,ms more love than words can speak.
There is lip which mine hath pressed,
And none hath ever pressed before;
j vowed to make me sweeily besi,
And mine--nline only pressed IL more.
There is a bosom---a'l my own
Hath pillowed Oft this aching head;
A mouth which smiles on alone,
An eye whose tears with niue are she'd.
There are two hearts whose movements thrill
Ia Unison So closely sweet,
That pulse 10 pulse responsive still,
They both must heave, or cease TO beat.
There two souls whose equal flow
In gentle streams SO calmly run,
That when they par-Th-y part! ah no.
They cannUt part-thc souls are one!
