New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1854-11-14


Blessings then upon the morning
When my friend, with fondesi look,
By the solemn rites permission.
To himself his mistress took,
And the Destinies recorded
Other two within their book
While the priest fulfilled his Office,
Still the ground the lovers eyed,
And the parents and the knsmen
Aimed their glances az the bride,
Bat the groomsmen eyed the virgins
Who were waiting at her side.
Three there were that stood beside her;
One was dark and one was fair,
But nor fair nor dark the other,
Save her Arab eyes and hair;
Neither dark DOr fair call her,
Yet she was the fairest there.
While her groomsmsn-shsn I own it :
Yes to thee. and only thee
Gazed upon this dark-ey I'd maiden
Who was fairest OF the three,
Thus he thought " How blest the bridal
Where the bride were such as she"
Then nused upon the adage,
Til my wisdom was perplexed,
And | wondered as the churchman
Dwelt upon his holy text,
Which of all who heard hi Lesson
Should require the service next
Whose will be the next occasion
For the flowers the feast, the wine1
Thine Ierchance, my dearestlady
Or, who knows lit may be mine
What if were-fOrglye The fancy
What il I vere-both mine and thine
SONG FOR SEPTEMBER.
SEPTEMBER strews the woodland DER
With many brilliant color;
The world Is brighter than before
Why should our hearts be duler
Sorrow and the scarlet leaf
Sad thoughts and sunny weather
All me this glory and this grief
Agree not well together.
This is the parting season-this
The time when frients are nying,
And lovers now, with many kiss
Their long farewells are signing
Why If earth so gay drest
This pOmp that autumn besTeth
funeral seems, where every guest
bridal garment Beareth.
Each one of us, perchance, may here,
On some blue morn hereafter,
Return 10 view the CANDY year,
But not with boy fish laughter
We shall then be wrinkled men,
Our brow with silver laden,
And ibol THE glen maj st seek again,
But DeyerHOre MAIDEN
Mature perhaps foresees that spring
Win touch her teeming oson,
Ard that few brief months will brag
The bird, the bee, the blossom;
All these forests do not know
Or would less brightly wiiher-
The virgin that adorns them so
Will never more come hlther.
We will not attempt to "gild refined gold BY
