VERSES FOR ALBUMS.

:01! A YOUNG LADY's ALBUM.

When worth and beauty prompt the line,
Perhaps a pen as poor as mine
May be forgiven
To try to write of things divine,
And think of heaven!
But pause, rash verse 1 and don’t abuse
A bashful tnaiden‘s ear with news
Of her OWn beauty!
And yet no other theme I’ll choose,
Or think a duty!
80, then, for fear I m1 rht offend,
I’ll say—God bless her —and thus end.

DEDICATION FOR AN ALBUM.

This little book, with all the prize
Its varied page imparts,

I’ll dedicate to gentle eyes
And sympatlnzing hearts;

That all who bring a smile or tear,
May, fearless, drop the gem;

For critics rude shall ne’er come near
To praise them or condemn.

ALBUM LINES.
These lines which I to you inscribe,
Were purchased b a costly bribe:
You said you wou L1 be pleased to see
A simple record here from me;
And to please you is such a pleasure,
I prize it more than bribe of treasure;
But if my poor attempt has power
To please you—‘tis a royal (lower;
And I henceforth shall proudly cherish—
Until all sense and memory perish—
The thought that, once upon a time,
I planted you by my simple rhyme.
MEMORY.
How true the thought, and yet most dear,
That Memory has a. silent tear
For loved ones, wheresoe’er our 101:,
Though absent, they are ne’er forgot!

0h cruel girl! I did but steal one kiss,
And you have stolen away my heart for this!

There‘ll be an end to all my woes if
You don‘t soon smile on your poor Joseph!

Here’s for the girl whose charms ne‘er vary'
My dear, delightful, charming Mary.

0h! night and day I think of you——
Susanna, Susan, Susy, Sue!

I know a dear, delicious teaser—
Her name—don’t breathe it—is Louisa!

Come! let there he no longer parley,
Charley loves Kate and Kate loves Charley

Happy will be that lucky man,
Who Wins the heart of Mary Ann.

When shall I taste of happiness?
'Tis when my charming Kate says——“ Yes!"

Time flies too fast—I can not wait! \_
When shall it be ?——speak out, dear Kate!

If you'd know the taste of juleps,
Ask Lucille to press her two lipl.

I kksed a dewy rosebud. cleft in twain,
And fancied it the lips of Mary Jane.

Must give the nearest girl a kiss. r

Whoever tends these lines must render
His thanks by writing something tender.

These lines—don’t let them cause congestion!
‘ Will saw, I hope, to—pop the question!

 

If she who reads will understand—-
‘I’ve got a heart, and she—a hand.

To press your lovely lips one minute!

I Wish and pray you were less frigid,
Or I less warm—you charming Bridget.

If I dared speak, I'd say to Harry-
Pray, do you think you‘ll ever marry?

The girl whose hair is most like flame,
Has made my tender heart the same.

ST. VALENTINE “MES.

DEAREBT, I AM FOND OF YOU.

As hollyhocks are fond of dew,
As bees are fond of clover,

80 dearest, I am fond of you,
i say it over and over.

As Wrens and robins are fond of worms,
And fishes fond of water,

I’m fond of you—the fondest terms
Express not What they oughter.

I’m fond of you as Laps of oil,
Or Esquimaux of bluhber;

To others’ tears my heart‘s rich soil
Is tough as India-rubber.

As corn is fond of Au ust heats,
As cattle are of fod er,

As children are of stolen sweets,
Or a. fisherman of a rod, or

As a boy of his first new boots,

Of a. sled and snow in December—
As lawyers are of Chancery suits,

Or the church of a wealthy member,

I’m fond of you—and fonder grow,
I blush not to confess it '

There’s naught, not even JAdams «B 00.“
That ever can “ express” it.

I beg of you, my dearest, then, ,
Acce t my love—don’t spurn it!
But ma e me happiest of men
By saying you 11 return it.

ANSWER.

Be happ , then, m ardent Mend-
Your ove, I wil not spurn it;

By the next mail, the love you send.
I’ll faithfully return it.

The birds in their delicious nests
Hang high in southern bowers,
With soft winds blowing round their brush.
And canopied by flowers.
Each dreameth of his Valentine,
As I—why not? of mine.

The orange blossoms, like tiaras,
Gleam o‘er each happy head ;
Like golden lamps the glowing stars
Shine on the downy bed .
Where two will sleep, instead 01‘ one,
When this brief day is done.

Ah! in this bleak and chilly clime
Falls snow instead of flowers;

But poet souls must dream and rhyme
In Iove’s secluded bowers;

Fond fancy craves its Valentine,

As my heart craveth thine

'Tis summer weather in m breast,
Where tropic splendors um;

I stir with sweet yet sad unrest,
As roses tremble and yearn;

Or, as the dew shakes on the tree,

I thrill at thoughts of thee.

dearest, send no cruel frost

And’by love’s blossoms blest;

And that those words are full as light,
And wither full as soon-—

That lovers’ h nuts are changeful, quite,
And faithless as the moon—

That poets say the silliest things,
And poets’ loves have lightest wing;

A little Februarf' freeze 
Will do your ove no ill;
Utrue, like sap in maple trees,
’Twill rise the sweeter still;
80, not till sugar-time I’ll say
Whether I like you, yea or nay.

Many years ago,
When all without was February snow,
But our warm hearts were in a summer glow,
With blushes, smiles, and hopes of youth divine,
We promised, by the good St. Valentine,

I to be thine, thou mine!

Years hasten and depart— 

As thou wert then, thou art, [a _
But closer intergrown with  true hem; . .:
We have now. no fears , _  ‘-
But that the love which thus this life endeargv

 Lovers’ vows are lovers‘ lies»—
 ,J‘ ‘ Lovers' pledges I despise;
’ ~ i Both are worthless, one to nine,
But I am true, your Valentine.
Let us love one another,
So long as we can;

With her white hand like a lady,
And her heart as merry as spring,

For a go den wedding-ring.
There’s no jewel so worth wearing,
That a lover’s hands may bring—
There‘s no treasure worth comparing
With a golden wedding-ring.

It beats for thee, and only thee!

Loving and wild as human heart dare be;
And every throb throws out a. prayer,
Restless and rising on the heedless air,
To the great Prince of Love,
fl. That from his shining throne above,

‘, ’ He will thy dear feet guard,

‘*“ -‘ With holiness and patience o’er the hard
And pitiless rocks that lie
Beneath thine anxious eye.
That heart hath great and solemn trust in thine!
And therefore doth not idly fret and pine,
But, wai ting for the thrillin 'o to be.
It beats for only thee—M .

When I. stranger ’mid stran ers I roam, love,
And no friendly face can see—
When afl‘ection doth link every step, love,
That lengthens between you and me— .

Illumines the mansions within, love,
The light of thine eye. ‘

BRIDAL urn MARRIAGE vnnm. 19

MARRIED HAPPINESS.

The suns will shine and the rains will fall
On the highest and lowliest spot;

There’s mourning and merrinient sent for all
Who inherit an earthly lot.

And sometimes we find that the richer bliss
Lies under the darkest sorrow,

And the murkiest shadows of night’s abyss
Will soon bring a clear to-morrow;

But,let there Come sorrow, to waken a sigh,
0r joy, to enlighten our life—

We’ll hope on, and love on, and let them pass by,
Still happy—us husband and wife.

TO A W'EDDED PAIR.

Hand in hand, with hearts united,
Ye are bridegroom now and bride;
Each to each hath fondly plighted
Eternal love till death divide,
While the poet‘s song:r would bless you,
From his heart a prayer is given,
That should griefs of earth depress you,
Love may lift your hearts to heaven.

Her cheek is nestling onmy breast—-
Her eyes are bright with tears;

A prayer, half-hr lathed and half-represt,
My listeningr spirit hears!

3h 1 blessed be the changeless love
That glorifies my life!

U1 doubt, all fear, all guile above—
My own true-hearted wife l—Duganna.

TOMYWIFE.

When on thy bosom I recline,
Enraptured still to call thee mine,
To call thee mine for life,

THE BRIDE.

She stood like an angel just wandered from haven,
A Yigfim benighted away from the skies;

And itt e we deemed that to mortnls were git en
Such visions of beaut as come from her eyes;

r’ She looked up and smi ed on the many glad faces,

The friends of her childhood who stood by her side;

But she shone o’er them all like a queen of the Graces,
When, blushing, she whispered, the vow of a bride.

, Awn- FROM A WIFE.

Afar from thee l the morning breaks,
But momin brings no joy to me;
Alas! my spirit only wakes
. To know I am star from thee!
In dmms I saw thy blessed face,
And thou wert nestled to my breast;
In dreams I felt thy fond embrace,
» And to mine own thy heart was pressed.

I saw two clouds st morning
Tinged by the rising sun;
And in the dawn they floated on,
And mingled into one.
I saw two summer currents
Flow smoothly to their meeting
And join their course, with silent fares,
In peace each other greeting;
Such be you/r gentle motion,
Till life’s last pulse shall beat—
Like summer’s beam and summer’s stream,
Float on, in joy to meet
A calmer sea, where storms shall Oahu.

THE LAST REST.

Biest is the turf, serenely blest,

Where throbbing hearts may sink to rest,

Where life‘s long journey turns to sleep.

Nor even pilgrim wakes to weep.

There shall no vain ambition come,

To lure them from their quiet home;

Nor sorrow lift, with heartstrings riven,

The weak, imploring eye to Heaven;

Nor sad remembrance stoop to shed,

His wrinkles on the slumberer‘s head.

Leigh Hunt.

EPITAPH.

Calm on the bosom of thy God,
Fair spirit, rest thee now l '

Even while with us thy footsteps trod,
His seal was on thy brow ;

Dust to its narrow house beneath——
Soul to its place on high;

They that have seen thy look in death,
No more may fear to die.-—Hemam.

ON A DEPARTED ONE.

The summons came forth, and she died—-
Yet/her parting was gentle, for those
Whom she loved mingled tears at her side;
Her death was the mourner’s repose. ‘
Our weakness may Weep o’er her bier,
But her spirit has gone on the wing—-
To triumph for agony herc~—
To rejoice in the joy of its King.——0roly.

Fill and overflowed with light-—
Clear water in a silver howl——
This is Bertha, body and soul.

The richest rose that ever grew,
Thrilled with sunlight, filled with dew
By its own sweetness half oppressed,
This is the heart in Bertha’s breast.

Oh, would that I might build a bower
Befitting this fair human flower!

Amaranths and passion-flowers should twina
Its arches proud, were Bertha mine.

THE SONG OF LOVE AND DEATH.

Sweet is true love, though given in vain, in vain;
And sweet is death who puts an end to Pain ;
I know not which is sweeter, no, not .

Love, art thou sweet ? then bitter death must be ;
Love thou art bitter ; sweet is death to me;
Oh love, if death he sweeter, let me die.

Sweet love, that seems not made to fade away,
Sweet death, that seems to make us loveless clay,
I know not which is sweeter, no, not I.
