A Presage.

have Il friend, a dear one.
Her name-but why confes
You very rarely hear one
Mors designating >suess!
Her merry voice is sweeter
Than any rillet's flow;
Her laugh has more of metre
Than any song know.
Her lovely eyes that tighten
When robins softly sing
Are like the skies that brighten
AT dawn in early spring;
Her cheeks--his brain is duller
Than Ounce who'll not own
They We all the pinky color
Ofapple buds half blown.
You will agree it's pleasant
That such one should send
Each year charming present
To me, cher dearest friend"
And this year I've presage-
1t makes my pulses start
That with tender message
She'll give to me her heart.
