SONG.

SONG.
I've oft, at night,
Seen forms of light,
Fresh from the fields of air;
But never yet
Till now have met
A mortal maid as fair;
On golden sands
Or starry lands
l thought such maids might shine
But did not know
That earth could show
Such loveliness as thine.
Eyes brighter far
Than gem or star
Shall haunt me evermore,
Where'er my path,
In peace or wrath.
Shall be no sea or shoe;
Now maids not fair
OF earth or air
For me in vain shall shine,
Their eyes, though bright,
Have not the light
That fills that glance of thine.
On glossy tress
| will thee bless
If thou wilt give to me
When far apart,
Oh, them, my heart
Twill firmly bind TO thee.
In shade or ray,
Whcre'er stray,
When eyes and trcsses shine,
maiden there,
vi eartn OF ar,
I'll meet with charms like thine.
The rover's hcnc,
On land or foam,
The tent or plank with thee,
Or humblest cot,
In any spot,
\ palace were to me.
Alike all others,
If those bright eyes
On me would fondly shine;
All else that's dear
To bosoms here
I'd yield to call thee mine !

There lie no architect
Can build as the Muse can
She is skilful to select
Waterfalls for her plan;
She treads dark Alpine forests,
Or valleys by the sea,
In many lands with painful stops,
Ere she can find tree,
She ransacks mines and ledges,
And quarres every rock,
To how the famous alamant
For each eternal block,
She LAYS her beams in music,
In music every one,
70 the chance OF the whirling world
Which dances round the sun
That so they shall not be displaced
BY lapscs or by wars,
But, for the love of happy souls,
Outlive the newest stars.
