AN OPTICAL ILLUSION.

As sweet as love first spoken,
 And fair as the hly's pose, She stands in the window looking out When the day is at its close. She's half concealed in the curtain, And 1, in the twilight haze, Am watching the suns last splendor die And tint her cheek with its rays. Her eyes, like a limpid curreat, Reflect while past me steal The calm of a heart inured to pain, Or the peace of promised veal. fancy her lips like rose leaves, Fresh curled at the wake of day, When the dew comes out from the sweet
 lawn grass
 To honey them with its spray. Her threats adorned by a necklace, She must be dressed for the ball, And, too, her coiffure is powder'd white, And o'er her shoulders shawl. The sun has sunk in its setting That circle which bands the skies And stilly drop the curtains of night Till my vision numbs my eyes. But still she does not see me Intent on my evning star. Like Venus there in the new moons light. She beams so near and yet so far. When, To. the room Is lighted, And the candelabra's gleam Reveals statue" of Venus there "All things are not what they seem."
