LINES WRITTEN TO MY DEAR ANGEL WIFE.

BY DEH0S.
Oh ring to ME, love and VIXEN you sing,
Oh let it be joyous lay,
For heaven knows how glad my heart,
When e'cr hear you sing or play!
And though I'm absent now, my love,
Long, long weeks I've been away,
Yet still my heart's the same, love-
My spirit hearkens to your lay.
But oh how sad feel, love,
On this bright summers day!
One kris !-ope warm embrace, 1--we,
Would glua my heart and make me gay.
But then know you smile, love,
And often Oh your knees you pruy,
And even whom you sing, love,
You think on me SO far away.
Then bless thee dear ! my angel wife!
Nor from thy side III longer stray
But to thy arms I'll 1y, love,
With thee to laugh, to weep, to pray
May heavon bless my dearest love,
May heaven be her strongest stay!
When death shall separate us, love,
And when our mortal frames are clay;
Our spirits then shall meet above,
Where night shall never gloom the day;
Where sorrows ne'er shall come, love,
To mar our peace, or lead astray!
And where we shall be happy, lore,
Nor sigh, nor groan, nor wish, nor tear,
Shall ever move our spirits, love,
Or mar our peace and quiet there
And there you'll be an angel, love,
AS You arc now an angel here!
But there you'll spend in praise, love,
a life that no,o ts spent IN prayer!
