TO MY BELOVED.

From Smiths Magazine.) -
There are no words so sweet and fair
As those that would call thee;
There is no perfume half SO rare
To match the soft scent of thine hair,
That like the fragrance. of the air
In May does enthrall me.
There are no colors such as those
That through thy cheeks are flow
ing;
They put to shame the lowered rose
That in some Southern garden grows,
Or soft tints of eternal SHOWS
In dawn's, embraces glowing.
There is no music of the spheres, :
OF harps and sweet bells ringing,
Would sooth M soul with ,gladder
tears
Or thrill with deeper joys my ears
Through all the long declining years
Than thy voice softly singing.
There is no sky of deeper blue
Than where thine eyes are smiling,
No land of dreams that poets knew,
Where summer winds ne'er changing
blew,
And never:fading flowers grew,
Could e'er be more beguiling.
There is no heart as true as thine
But that within me beating,
Which constant as the ivy vine
Shall worship at thy beauty's shrine,
The wrinkles and the burrows line
OF greedy age defeating.
