WRITTEN PROF. YORK.
Alas! thy smiles shall / meier see,
No more thy vcce hear?
Those smiles were wont to comfort me-
That voice my heart TO cheer.
How pleasant was our humble hame
When thou vast with me here!
II was as when sweet flowers bloom,
When singing birds hear.
Why didst thou go away soon,
And leave thy happy home?
Why did thy sun GU Down at noon,
And leave thy wife in gloom?
i know il was thy cnuntry's call
Which sent thee far away;
1t was foe her thou gav'st up all,-
Fen loves soft sunny ray.
Though thou to me canst ne er return,
Yet to thee can go,
Where no bright sun goes down at noon,
Where tears will cease TO flow.
Now, till that brght-that happy day,
thee must bid adieu;
while in this dark vale stay
Then l STALL so TO you.
There shall ne'er part usagain,
In that bright world on high;
There will sweet peace forever reign,
Aud love shall never die.
