THE LAY OF A CONFIRMED MAN.

The buttercups that gemmed the vale In summers golden hours are fled; The wild rose red, the primrose pale, The hyacnth-all, all are dead. No more at morn in beauty's pride Their tinted petals they unfold And scent the breeze; they dropped and died When chill winds swept across the world. But why should we their loss deplore, Why spend our time in vain regrets, When orgaR-gr'nders to onr door Come daily with "Sweet Vioirts9"
