Jennie, why those humid eyes,
Tell me whence thy cares arise
Nought TO thee should sorrow bring,
Life should be perpetual spring;
Fun and frolic, mirth and glee,
Age or sickness, want, or shame,
The soothing balm Of tears NAV claim.
Time enough Tor thee to grieve,
w men tne friends you trust deceive
When ingretitude repays,
Deds which only ms;it praise;
Mnen cherished friendship turns to hate,
Mhen the heart Is desolate,
Mhen the forms you love the most
Moulder In the silent dust,
when the BODY . recked with pain,
Ihen-and not till then, complain
But the homely smile,
haply may apply to thee;
Tears are but the April shower,
6aroinger Of earliest flower.
Yes, already may we trace,
Smiles Of Joy upon thy face;
Like the shower and sunshine met,
While backward how thy curls Of jet,
Thy brow disclosed Of heavenly light,
Gould warm the heart Of Anchorite;
And now the dimples on thy cheek,
More OF happiness bespeak,
The pearly truth and rosy lip,
Where honey bees might deign TO sip;
An-an denote thy Joy supreme,
Thy grief at most an idle dream.
Thus ever be thy lot below,
May smiles Of pleasure Danish woe,
May all thy sorrows, griefs, and fears,
Transient be as childhood's tears. AMIGO.
