Delicate she as the lily fair,
In the raven, darkness of her hair;
The large dark eyes prophetic CLEAN,
From the pensivelips crimson stream.
The bosoms fitful rise and fall,
And the hectic flush, marked them all;
While o'er my life there hung a gloom,
My love must soon sleep in the tomb.
The specialist came and in his face,
The hope my eager eyes would trace;
Came with the words, ''send her away,
And prolong her life for many day.
Excitement, change of air and scene,
Will work miracle in her, ween";
And so e'er the wintry days advance,
She sails away for the south of France.
Helene looked wistfully back at me,
As with glass watched far out at sea;
Then turned away with tagging tread,
And bitter thoughts coursed through
my head.
Such thoughts as these, love beauty,
wealth,
Position, honor, but ruined health;
Dread death, to all our common lot,
To peerless queen OF maudlin sot.
The days wore on, moon did wane,
My days and nights were those of pain;
Then came the news that maddened me,
alexandria cut down at sea!
While only seven lives were saved,
And one of those dogs" l raved:
That Fate DEGREES the dog should live,
While peerless Helene, her life must give.
Light and shade of my life art thou,
But that life is sadly clouded now;
Obi could see her face once more,
Fen though it be on barren shore.
Cast thereon by the restless wave,
Then might hollow my love grave;
And bury my heart in it's narrow confne
With this beautiful drowned love ofmine
