THE ADIEU.

Wen miss her ct the morning hour.
When leaves and eyes uncl0se;
When sunshine calls the dewy flower
To waken from repose;
For, like the singing Of bird,
When hfSt the sunbeams fall,
Ehe giadnesa Of hef voice was heard
The earliest Of Us all.
Well miss her at the evening time,
For then her voice and lutte
Best loved to sing some sweet old rhyme
When other sounds were mute;
TWined round the ancient window-seat,
While she was singing there,
The iessamine from outside would meet,
And wreath her fragrant hair.
Well miss her when we gather round
Our blazing hearth ct night,
When ancient memories abound,
Or hopes where all unite;
And pleasant talk Of years to come
Thosa years our fancies frame,
Al ehe has now another home,
And bears another name.
Her heart IL not with our old hall,
Not with the things Of yore!
And yet methinks, she must recall
What was 20 dear before.
She wept to leave the fond roof where
She had been loved so long,
Though glad the peal upon the air,
And gay tho bridal throng.
Yes, memory has honey cells,
. And some OF them are ours,
For In the sweetest Of them dwells
The dream Of early hours,
The hearth, the hall, the window seat,
Will bring us to her mind;
In yon wide world she cannot meet
All that she left behind.
Loved, and beloved, her own sweet will
e 1t was that made her fate;
She has fairy hOme-but still
Our own seems desolate.
We may not wish her back again,
Not for her own dear sake;
Oh love, 10 form one happy chain,
How many thou cau'st break!
