Parting and Meeting.

Parting and Meeting.
She skotchcd; tho vale, the wood, the
beach.
Grew lovelier from her pencils shading;
Che botanlzed; cnvied each
Yong blossom In her boudoir fading;
She warbied Handel; It was grand;
She made the Catalina jealous
She touched the organ; / could stand
For hours and hours to blow the bel
lows.
She smiled on many, just for fun
/ knew TINT there was nothing in 1t;
1 was the first, the only one
Her heart had thought of for II minute,
/ knew It. for she told me So
In phrase which was divinely moulded,
She wrote charming hand, and oh!
How sweetly all her notes were folded.
Our love was like most other loves
a little glow, a little SILVER,
A rosebud. and pair of gloves,
And Fly not yet upon the river.
Some Jealousy of some ones heir.
Some hopes of dying broken-hearted,
miniature, n lock OF hair,
The usual vows-and then, we parted.
We parted; months and years rolled by,
We met again four summers after;
Our parting was all sob and sigh,
Our meeting was all mirth and laughter,
For In my hearts most secret cell,
There had been many other dodgers,
And she was not the ballroom belle
But only-Mrs Something Rogers.
William Mackworth Praed.
