POETRY.
THE DAUGHTER'S REQUEST.
My father, thou hast not the tale denied;
They say that ere noon to-morrow,
Thou wilt bring back a radiant and smiling bride
. To our lonaly house of sorrow.
I should Wish thee joy of thy coming bliss,
But tears are my words suppressing,
I think on my mother's dying kiss
And my mother's parting blessing.
Yet to-morrow I hope to hide my care,
' I will still my bosom's beating,
And strive to give to thy chosen fair
' A kind and courteous greeting.
She will heed m not in the joyous pride
' Of herpomp, and friends and beauty,
ykYi ! little need has a new-made bride
Of a daughter's quiet duty.
Thou gavest her Costly gems, they say, .
When thy heart first fondly sought her;
Dear father, one nuptial gift, I pray, '
- Bestow on thy weeping daughter.
j My eye, even now, on the treasure falls '
' I covet and ask no others
It has hung Inr years on our ancient walls:
; 'Tis the portrait of my mother. ,
To-morrow, when all is in festal guise,
1 -' And the guests our rooms are filling,
The calm, meek gaze ot those hazel eyes
- Might thy soul with griet be thrilling:
And a gloom on thy marriage banquet cast,
Sad thoughts of their owner giving,
For a fleeting twlvemonth scarce had passed
Since she mingled with the living.
Jf thy bride should weary or ofTond, .
That portrait might waken feelings
Of the love of thy fond departed friend,
- And its sweet and kind revealings;
Of her mind's commanding force unchecked .
. By feeble or selfish weakness,
Of her speech where dazzling intellect
' Was softened by Christian meekness.
Then, father, grant that at once, to-night,
. Ere the bridal crowd's intrusion, ...
I remove tliis portrait from thy sight v
To my chamber's stilt seclusion.
It will nerve me to-morrow's dawn to bear, .
' It will beam on me protection
When I ask of Heav'n in my faltering prayer
To hallo w the new connexion.
Thou wilt waken, father, in pride and glee,
To renew the ties once broken,
But nought upon earth remains to me -
Save this sad and silent token.
The husband's tears may be few and brief,
He may woo and win another,
But the daughter clings in unchanging grief
. To the image ef her mother.
