POETRY.
Patience Dow.
by MARIAN DOUGLAS.

Home from the mill came Patience Dow
She did not smile, she would not talk'
And now she WIS all tears, anu now
As fierce ss is captive hawH.
Unmindful OF her faded gown;
Soc sat with folded hands al gay,
Her long hair f,lling tangled do""'
Her sad eyes gazing FAR away. ,,,,
Where past the fields silver hhe'
She saw the distant river shine,
But when she thought herself alone,
o. hi thev heard her mu.tering low,
In such chill despasring time,
IL seemed the east winds sullen moan;
aAe me. the days, they move No slowi
care not If they're fair or foul,
They creep along know rot how.
only know be loveo me once
He does not love me now!"
Que morning, vacant W ,s her room,
Aud, in the clover wet with dew,
A narrow iue Of broken bloom
showed some one had been passing through;
And. following he track, 1t led
Across fel Il sunni ca grain.
Out where the th6rny blackbcrfies shed
Their blossoms in the narrow lave.
Down which the cattle went 10 drink
In summer, from the rivers INK.
The rivesr' Hope within thom sank;
afal thought that drew her there
~sw before, among the rank,
Spmed weeds u on the back,
lney found the sriaw. sr,e use. ssss. 70
Andou it yinned little note;
'.Ch, blame me not!' II read, Tor wneh
once am tree, my soul will float
To himi He cannot leave me theh!
know not If 'tis right or wrong
90 from life-I care not how'
1 only know he loved me once
He does not love me now?
In the farm graveyard, meath the black.
Funereal pine trees on the hill,
The DOOR, WON form the stream gave back
They laid in slumDer, cold and stt l.
Her secret slept with her: none knew
Whose tickle smile had lett the pain
That cursed her life; 10 one thought true,
Her vision-haunt-d wandering brain,
Secure from all, hid safe from blame,
In life and death had Kept his name.
Yet, often, with a thrill of fear,
Her mother, as she lies wake
At night, will fancy she can hear
A voice, whose tone is like the drear,
Low sound the graveyard pine trees make:
'Iknow not If t is right or wrong
go from life l care not how
i only know he loved me once
He does not love me nOw!.
