expressions would do more towards refinement
in language than a sprinkling of every foreign

every observant, fastidious woman. Few women
are called upon to converse much in general
society; fewer still are fitted to do it. Cheer

Dark with middle night,
Showing, in the moons pale CLEAN,
Faces of alright
Bending with such fearful gaze

Give me back the oar.
She shall have a warmer grave,
Inland from the shore.
Fair amongst the fairest she,
Proud as she was fair,
Can this wreck of woman be
Aught so bright and rare'
"At few brief hours remove,
Far in yonder wood,
Warm with beating life and love,
AS queen she stood;
With a rare imperial grace
In her step and mien,
Regal both in form and face,
Was she not a qaeen!
"S,ill in masker's quaint array,
Ere an hour had gone,
Prone upon the earth she lay,
Crushed by cruel scorn.
Hurt too deep for easing tears,
For her love repulsed,
Woman's pride and woman. fears
All her soul convulscd.
For, like any simple maid,
Counting not the cost,
In the game of life she played,
Staked her heart, and-lost!
Rified of the caskets hoard,
Beggared of her love,
(For, alas! she had not stored
Gifts wealth above,)
Earth was darker than the grave,
Dark and lonely both;
Life was colder than the wave,
Sought so little loath.
Rising from tn unequal strife,
Strong IN conq'ring pride,
As she reigned queen in life,
SO a queen she died.
From the glad rejoicing day,
From the summer skies,
Passed she royalty away,
Crowned in feetal guise."
