She wore a wreath Of roses,
The night when first we met:
Her hair, with careful oiling,
Looked shiny, black and wet.
Her footsteps had the lightness
Of-say a m%astodon;
And oh! she looked exceeding smart,
Though high of hue-and bone.
I saw her but a moment,
Yet methinks ] see her now
With the slimness. style and lightness
Of-say a Low Dutch Vrow!
a wreath Of orange blossoms
When next we met she wore
The spread Of form and features
Was much greater than before.
And standing by her side was one
Who strove, and strove in vain,
To make believe that such a wife
Was a domestic gain.
I saw her but n moment,
Yet methinks | see her now,
With her big front teeth projecting,
A queer blend of horse and cow.
And once again I see that brow
No bridal wreath is there
A ring Of curl-pspers conceals
What's left of her scant hair.
She sits on one side of the hearth,
Her spouse, poor man, sits near
And wonders how that scarecrow tnihR
Obuld once to him be dear!

Yet methiuks l see her now,

A SONG IN THE MIGHT.

Where is the light?
And where are the joys and the song?
My life, like birds, flew along:
No shadow e'er haunted me long:
Now it is night.
Where is the love
That shone like the sun my way?
Alas. it is gone with the day,
And only the beautiful clay
Is left Of love.
Out on the night
The clear, starry midnight of June,
A little bird trilled soft tune,
Far sweeter than in the bright noon;
In the starlight.
Wherefore the song,
Alone in the darkness and gloom,
When midnight has shrouded the bloom
OF summer, as though 'twere its doom?
Is bird-faith so strong?
Was it his love
He trilled in that MARBLE so sweet,
His mate, through the darkness, to greet
And bid her at daybreak to meet
Him, just above?
What, then, for me?
Shall my faith be less in my night?
Just out of my weak earthly sight,
He waits till the heavenly light
Shall dawn upon me.
