From the Louisville Journal
ASK ME NOT TO FORGET THEE.
by oDA LOWELL

Woulds thou give another the heart that is thinel
The spirit that clingeth to thee
With fervor as deep as the saint to the shrine
Or the worshpper bending the kneel [deari
Wouldst thou bid her forget thou hadst ever been
Wouldst entreat her loves letters to rend,
And think OF thee ever when absent or near
Asa stranger, or brot her or friendl
Could'st thou freely confde to another the heart
That ne 'er but one idol has knowni
And see from thy presence forever departi
The life that seems linked with thine owni
Couldst say other lips might whisper her name
In tone far more winning than thinei
That the step of another might send thro her frame
A thrill of wild rapture divinel
Dost think that the fountains of love in her breast
Can be moved or restrained at her Wilt
That its waters, by reason commanded to rest,
Candy magic grow suddenly stilli
That the pillows of feeling which rise at the thought
Ofparhng from thee can be crushedi
Mo- sooner the waves, that were never by augbt
Save the voice of the Mighty Oae hushsd
Or, cen could it be, would it glad thee 10 hear
10 another her spirit could turni
Woudst smile if assured that her vision was clear
The worth Of that mind to dscerni
Perhaps-tho' fancy she'd read in thine eye
When thou hadst her thine image forget,
In the grasp of thy hand and the half stified sigh
Some traces of tender regret.
If thou ever hadst spoken in FIatterys tone,
Might love have been quenched by disdain,
If round thee the garb of indifference thrown,
Might reason have sundered the chainl
If all that is noble and manly and good
Had not caught her affections at first, [stood
Might pride thine allurements ave boldly with.
Or irmness loves golden chain burstl
Oh, say not it's but to reinqush thee now!
Those words chill the life blood within,
Dost think she could perjure her soul with vow
To love where herheart ne'er has beeni
No, no! she would sooner on some desert shore,
Like mariner shipwrecked be cast,
And in Memor, there, live the bright hours DER
That were hers in the beautiful past.
