I may nut love thee—but within my heait,
When night and darkness set my spirit frep,
And 1 sit musing from the woild apart,
There is a low, deep voice that tells, of thee.
That voice is sweet and mournful as the tone
Of fat rEohan music heard in sleep,
Or the wild cadence of a spiiit lone
O’er the hushed waters of the midriichl deep.
I may not love thee—but thy blessed look
Forever haunts my soul when thou art far—
It g ! ances upward from each moonlit brook.
And downward from each bright and holy star.
’Tis imaged in each flower that lifts its eye
At morn to greet the sunshine and the dew,
And in each fairy cloud that wanders by.
Floating in beauty o’er the mountain blue.
I may not love thee — but thy senile words
Can stir within mv soul its fount of terns,
And wak • the echo of my heart’s deep chords
Like some sweet melody of early years.
I may not love thee—bntthy image seems
A loving radiance to my spirit given.
For oh! I picture thee in all my dreams
Of bli:.8 on earth and tFessedness in heaven.
OLD FKlENDjt TOGETHER.
Oh! time is sweet when roses meet
With Spring’s sweet breath around them;
And sw-eet the cost when hearts are lost.
If those we love haiti found them;
And sweet the mind that still can find
A star in darkest weathet ;
But nought can be so sweet to tee
As old friends met together.
The few long known, whom years have shown
With hearts that friendship blesses,
A hand to rbeer, petchance a tear
To soothe a friend's distresses ;
Who helped and tried, s»i!l side by sid*,
A friend to face hard weather ;
Oh ! thus may we yet joy to see
And meet old friends together.
