A Simple Ballad.

She stood beside her cottage door,
The sun was sinking low,
Said /, 1.-The wide ocean o er 20
Tomorrow must GO"
She pressed my hand. She heaved sigh.
She turned her head away.
She murmured, Leave me now, for
Feel all cannot say"
I went across the ocean wide,
toiled in foreign chimes
NY thoughts across the heaying tide,
They flew how many times?
At length, when twenty years had sped,
Across the weary foam,
1 passed once more, and quickly fled
To see the dear old home.
But she had welded Uncle Joe,
That kept the Black Bull Inn;
l dropt in there i1lcognSto,
And had three of gin.
I did not weep, or cry alack, o~e
Or anything that way;
For a widow rich, some two years back,
I'd married at Bombay. rrf9
