Wailing for their Heaven lost.
Oflsn, often, Emma Stuart,
On such solemn nights as this,
Have we sat and unused together,
Ofthe perfeetnsss Of bliss
Ofihe hope that lit the darkness
Ofthe future with It's ray;
Which was like star in Heaven,
Beautiful, but far away!
BY the gateway, where the locust
Ofths moonlight made eclipse,
And the river nipples sounded
Like the mumur Of sweet lips;
There little maiden waited,
Telling all the moments DER %
Emma Stuart! Emma Stuart!
Waits the maiden there no morei
No, al, no! Along the pathway
Gious the rich, unirampled grass,
Where the cricket stops to listen
For Thy wOnted feet to pass;
But thy footsteps, Emma Stuart,
Press no more the doorway stone,
Trip no more along the pathway
And the cricket sings alone.
Il is very mOurnful musins,
On such solemn nights as this
How svanishes the promise
Ofthe Perfeetness Of bliss.
Loves green grave between rs, Emma,
Keeps rs parted aye and aye
Even not TO know each other,
In the LOve-land far awsy.

chose, they retired outside, where they
remained till about 2 o'clock, A, NJ,
