POETRY.
aDON'T STAY LONG"

How many loving heart uttcTs the refrain
of the following lines, "dont stay long," There
is nothing of poetry in the phras eology, but
there is in the touching manner, in which the
words frequentls find goics t;aseaairaes
tenderness,.ss ffoxd Hopes and deep sympathy
Of Witch they Jecome the;ilnperfcct interpre7
tiers. Ills experience in the poetry Of life
and love must have been barren Indeed who
does not find these lines thrill, like the echo
of cathedral music, to his heart of hearts,
: A look of ycarning tenderness
Beneath her lashes lies,
> And hope and love unutterable
=. Are shadowel in her eyes, ~
As in some deep unrufllcd stream
Are clouds and summer skies.
She passed to carly womanhood, :
From dreamy, sweet girl life,
And crossed the rosy threshold, but
70 find herself a wife;
Oh, gently should he lead her steps
Along the path of life!
And as heclaspcd her small white hands
Upon his arm so strong, -:
How often like a>summcr sigh,
Or swcct pleading song,
She whispers, with parting kiss,
''DelcFel one, don't stay long"
It's almost always on her lip,
Her gcntlcst parting words, .
Sweet as the fragrance from rose leaves
=. When by soft zephyrs stirred,
I'm scr;ng in the memory
= :Eisessongs Of summer birds. :,
and in his heart they nestle warm,
When other scenes amid;
He stays not till she weary grows,
And her fond eyes are hid
In tears which lie in bitterness
Beneath each yelling lid.
And oh, how many hearts are kept
By that love-uttering song!
There's scarcely one, who n6fe's waves
Is swiftly borne along,
But who has heard from some dear lips
Those sweet words: don't stay long"
