Worn by the wpd w&ves ceaseless shdet,

Yet there the" sca,moss still 'will cling
Some flower will lind a deft to fprins,

Each "merry fount of June
Played like a seraph lute for ran
A soft, 'celestial tune.

Shed perfume round the dancing fuet
Of boyhood's fiolick hours.

No tones nor odors dwell, . .
For Fancy, like a changeful nympy, :
Hassigh'd a tad farewell.
But thou to me art music, love,
And the enamored air '
Is rife with sweetness, when I feci

Mine own ! Within those charmed words
What fond endearment lies! :
Lun-d by the spell, what lovely scenes '
Along the future rise !
For age will wear more brilliant plumes
Than youth's gay season down,
Fince thou art now, in very truth,,
My beuutiful, mine own !"
