A Composite Maiden.

When Della on the plain appears
Awed by Thousand tender tears.
-[George Lord Lyttleton.
Then like a shadow close yet free
The thought OF her aye follows me.
-[Dinah Maria Muloch.
Her eyes as stars Of twilight fair.
Like twilight too, her dusky hair; .,,
Impartlng in its glad embrace
Beauty TO beauty, grace to grace. ru,,,,..,or
For on her cheeks the glow is spread
That tints the morning hills with RED. .,.
Robes loosely flowing, hair as free
Such sweet neglect much taketh me. ,
Doth more bewitch me than when art
Is more precise in every part ,,.,.
A fleeing moment of delight
summed me in her cheering sight.
Or lingering in the falling dew,
When looks were fond and words were few.
Italian Cunningham
AS the soul that moment caught
Some treasure 1t through life had sought.

Thou art not what thou vast before"

A heart that stirs is hard to bind.
A hawks keen sight is hard to bilnd,

You know when morn exultant springs,
When evening folds her dropping wings;

Has lost its charm by being caught.
