POEMS WORTH KNOWING,
BY THOMAS MOORE.
ALAS. HOW LIGHT A CAUSE

I.AS!-how light cause may move
Dissension between hearts that love!
Hearts that the world I'm vain had tried,
And sorrow but more closely tied;
That stood the storm, when waves were
rough,
Yet in sunny hour fell of.
Like ships that have gone down at sea,
When heaven was all tranquility!
A something. light as ARA look,
A word unkind or wrongly taken
Oh! love. that tempests never shook,
A breath, Il touch like this hath shaken,
And ruder words will soon rush in
TO spread the breach that words begin;
And eyes forget the gentle ray
They wore in courtship's smiling day;
And voices lose the tone that shed
\ tenderness round all they said;
Till fast declining, one by one,
The sweetnesses of love are gone,
And hearts, sc lately mingled. seem
Like broken clouds-or like the stream.
That smiling left'the mountains brow,
AS though its waters ne'er could sever.
Yet, ere 1t reach the plain below,
Breaks into floods that part forever.
