LOYETIOE.

Chiseled cups Of fairest flowers,
Through the fields are blossoming;
Summer splendor bathes the hours
In a ROSY colOring.
Davs are sweet when love is turning
Things Of earth to brightest gold;
Days are sweet when souls are vearniug
Heart to heart TO fold and hold.
Where the stream goes leaping By
Lisping ripples kiss each shore;
Hark, .he willows softly sigh
70 the waters they hang Ger,
Youth and maiden half forgot
Scarcely heed the world without;
Hands by tender hands are met;
Lips are pressed By lips devout
the paradise of pleasure,
Whittier souls ascend in love:
Mingling rapture without measure,
AS they soar TO heaven above,
Stay, sweet moments; life is iieeter
Than the streamlet rushing by;
Stay, sweet moments; love is sweeter
Than all earth born ecstasy.
