OME winter night, shut snugly in Beside tho fagot ln the hall, v I think I see you sit and spin, Surrounded by your maidens all. Old tales are told, old songs aro sung, Old days come back to memory; You say, "When I was fair and young, A poet sang of me!" There's not a maiden.ln your hall. Though tired and sleepy ever so, But wakes as you my name recall, And longs the history to know. And as the piteous talo ls said, Of lady cold and lover true. Each,"musing, carries it to bed, And sighs and envies you I "Our lady's old and feeble now," They'll say; "she Once was fresh and fair, And yot she spurned her lover's vow, Aud heartless left him to despair; The lover lies in silent earth, No kindly mate and lady cheers; She sits beside a lonely hearth, With threescore and ten years !?' Ah! dreary thoughts and dreams are thoso, But wherefore yield me to despair. While yet tbe poet's bosom glows, While yet the dame is peerless falrl Sweet lady mine! while yet 'tis time Requite my passion and my truth, And gather ln their blushing prime The roses of your youth!
