CITY NOTES.
SWEET SORROW.

Could night be good when you were gone,
Though stars are bright and suns are born,
Till through the Orient cOmeth morn q?
All! it were good if thr ough nights space
My lips could reach your sleeping face;
If your WARM cheek and sweet eyes closed
Upon my pillow, love -epOsed.

Betrayal by that sad, sweet kiss;
Then clasp my arms across my breast
And prison there in dreams the rest.-EX.
