But nv thoughts still fondly roam,
To the many happy hours I've spent,
In my Conwayboro' home.

Her cloud Ger earth and sea,

No Lovers heart shall beat for me


For tho Spirit Of the Age.
No Lovers heart shall beat for me.
WRITTEN IN AN ALBUM.
The rose that droops throughout the day,
Hath hopes 10 cheer from evenings ray
For when those soft pale hours have come,
To draw the night robe round the bloom,
The stars will weep TO see It pine,
And whilst their tNinkling eyes then shine,
They shed the crystal tears of dew,
Aud whisper, sweet rose smile anew.
The frosts, too, blast that summer flower,
And chill the leaflets Of the bower;
Yet winters wind will weep around,
And stir the boughs with moaning sound,
As if in sorrows deepest gloom.
It moaned the flowers saddest doom.
Though, after winters dreary reign,
The rose will bloom and blush again,
And ~lovelier seem than when the blast
OF Autumn wreek'd il all q waste.
Yet love can come, with aching spell,
And round this heart q moHrner dwell;
An | chill the hopes Of youthful days;
And bid me sigh my p%laintive lays:
For, oh ! Alas /. how sad to see
That no lovers heart will sigh for me
But there's a SpRING beyond the tomb,
Where love shall sigh no more IN gloom ;
But beam in happy. heavenly ray,
And cheer the one eternal day
Then peace my soul ! for hearts above,
Shall beat for me in ceaseless love-
