They'll Kindly smile when fortunes fair,
But where are they in need.
They turn &c cir steps TO fair abodss,
False fortune Q smiles to win,
Where no harrissirg care corrodes
The merry heart within.
I long to feel thy hallowed Hiss
And thy love lit smile,
For cen thy tone Of tenderness
Would all my loneliness beSuils.
