MY LOVE.

from the London Argosyl
/ sent my love rome yiolets;
She meier replied. H
Each day I said, "Ah ! she forgsts,
And they have died."
I sent my love snow-white rose;
She gave no sign.
Each gay said, "Alas she grows
Much less divine"
sent my love jewel rare.
And then she wrote
"Your gift will not fail to wear"
burned the note.
Her face soon faded from my mind.
Though fair to see;
said, "she only loves, find,
Ny gold, not me"
