But few short months, dear lady,
Have joined the rcgretful past
But a few Of oar noble life-iiiehtls
Have yielded to deaths cold blast
But few bright flowers have withered,
And bencat. the snow now bend,
Since far, far down in my eartdepths
Thy name was written "iliend.
What though in lifea lovely morning
Our paths did lie apart,
We sool, form hfe-acquaintance
When heart responds to heait.
What though by the ones that love thee
never have been caressed
We have each one OF Gods own angels
Upon our bosom pressed!
This, this is the link, sweet lady!
That binds my heart to thine;
For a sorroxing heart has ever
Met warm response tioni mine.
But when Ratchet m0urns her children,
Or the wild wood dove her young,
The full food tide OF sympathy
Leaps up from heart to tongue!
O.! love the golden sunbeams
That light This broad green earth;
And love heart o eIflowing
With hope and joy and mirth;
But tbs only when stornt cioaes gather,
And when SORROWS o or us bend,
That We feel how bright is the sunlight,
Ur how valued is friend.
Dear lady! not long Eve known thee,
And soon We again may part:
But ''viiatever skies bend Ger thee,
. think there is one heart
That loves Ihce--not i0r the sunlight
That frightened other years;
But that both have dI ank from the same darb
