by FRANK gOULE

astt
Darker than the ravens plumage
Is her hair;
White her brow as snow that ridsth
Wlntry air.
AHd her eye my brain entrances
With Its clear and flashing giances,
Gratifying all the fancies ala
Teeming there.
But her blushing cheek is fairer
Far than all,
Soft AZ downy peach that ripens
by the wall;
And her tempting lip Is merry,
Round and luscious as the cherry,
Glowing like the holly berry
Ere 1t fall.
Happier than the bee which hummsth
On the wing.
When the voice Of gladness cometh
With the Spring,
Wanders she among the flowers
Filling with her song the bowers,
All its echoes music showers
Murmuring.
Like the hummng bird on roses
When he sips,
is he who with kisses closes
Those fair lips;
Finding in their sweet caresses
Joys which thoughts of Heaven imprssses,
Pure as roses' dew that blesses
While II drips.
When her happy heart rejOices
Into words,
Tuncful as the merry voices
OF the birds;
Sweet as the canary's singing,
Clear as skyiark Heavenward wInging,
Soft as tinkng bells when ringing
Home the herds.
Stars. how din compared your lustre
With her eyes,
Softest zephyrs seem but bluster
When she slghs;
And my thrilling thoughts grow tender,
When their silent worship blend her;
Planet Of my heart, whose splendor
Fills its skies.
Sight, and thought, and memory linger,
Clinging round
Dimpled hand aud taperng fnger,
Beauty bound.
Nursing every recollection
OF her features. form, complexion,
Joyous at the full perfection
They have found.
