The following exquisite love song is the
composition Of Joseph Brennan, q young
Irishman, one of The exiles Of '48, who died
recently Of consumption in New Orleans, at
the age ofeight and twenty. Nothing could
be more beautiful than this ballad-which
ought to be set 10 music, since only the sweet
singer can do justice 10 its tender pathos and
passion
Come to me dearest, Pm lenely without thee,
Day time and night time Pm thinking about

Night time and day time in dreams ! behold
Unwelcome the waking which ceases to fold

Swallows will fit around the desolate ruin,
Telling Of Spring ard itsjoyous renewing:
And thought Of thy love and its manifold
treasure
