AFFECTION. There is a thing for which we yearn ; To which all manhood's thoughts are prone ; We strive forever till we earn— Until we have it all our own. ’Tis meet that all should feci its chain, And taste the pleasure of its joys ; We each and all can it obtain. And blest is he who it enjoys. It bids us live anew our life. And binds around the pleasing thrall. It cheers us up ‘mid din and strife ; It is our hope—our life—our all. Without it what would manhood he? A nameless and despairing drone ! No hope we’d have; no end we’d see; We’d live forever all alone. It gnides'iis in ambition’s stream ; It is the polar star to man ; ’Tis woman’s faith; ’tis tnaidens’s dream; And all embrace it when they can.
