The Lock of Hair.
BY GEORGE u. PRENTICE.

How often has this lovely curl tpearl--
Been bound with flowers and decked with
How oft round snowy fingers twined,
How oft wooed by the amorous wind:
And oh how oft at midnight hour,
When slumber regued il hall and bower,
This curl. soft nestled like a dove,
Has heard the whispered dreams of love.
This lovely tress-this raven tress--
That oft to heart and hp press
| know not it it used TO deck
The Parian whiteuess OF her neck
Or o err her blue.veined tcmpled strayed,
Or on her beaming brow was laid.
Or fell upon the stainless snow
OF her young cheek Il only know
II is the loveliest Of curls,
And from the loyeliest Of girls
Aye, tbs thing to love and bless,
This little dark and shining tress;
Dark rs the midnight forests gloom,
Dark as the tempest spirit plume,
Dark as the stern Death. Angels seat,
But shining as the battle steed.
And she, by whom this gem was given,
Seems to my heart thing of Heaven
An angel dream-a gentle dove
Sent forth from God own ark of love
A vision come from Paradise
Awhile to gladden. mortal eyes
A star, of Heaven $ own stars the pride,
Chased in this dark worlds stormy tide.
