One Year Ago.

One year ago-one year ago
told my love to thee,
And would have staked my very life
Upon thy constancy;
For the pure echoes Of thy heart
Responded to my own,
And like fairy instrument,
Gave back afection's tone.
One year has passed, and now come,
To find within thy breast,
The love you once bestowed
And made Inc sweetly blest;
Opposition thy heart has changed
Another shares thy lot
Another has won thy love,
And LII am forgot.
One year--one short and tickle year
Is this the life of loye2
Is that deep passion changing as
The feecy clouds above?
Are passing shadows and sunbeams,
The emblems of its stay,
And all its hopes and honest faith,
But dreams of yesterday?
