LOVES WINTER.


You said. my dear, my love for ron had chilled
Before the wintry winds Of Times advance.
All, well. grant It's true am not thrilled
Az in the days Of youth and sweet romance
When hearts with young loves passion were
ahams.
When blood was hot with natures rarsst
wine,
when rapture penned each letter Of your name
And I-ah. how lonked to call you mine!
You said, my dear. that my once fond desire
For you 10 gone-that you have bean befooled.
Alas! these veins, that blaxed with youthful
IRE,
By Lies swift-nowing waters have been
cooled;
And l, whose pulses leaped ut your caress
From lips as soft ~ petals Of rose.
Now ind your mild salutes. must confess.
Conducive to . peaceful. calm repose.
But now you say my love for you is dead!
! All, no; Just for the evening Of our days
Its fires are banked-they glow richer red
| Beneath than that hot, haring. youthful blaze
Lifes ntful breeze has blown its cooling breath
! Upon my fevered brow And yet :.

Be called upon to face the specter. Death.
! For your sake, dear-why, then I'd gladly
I die.

to say bruised and lacerated-to learn that Lii.

pathway to earn pitiful living. OF course
