Poems.
So I no more could see thy face,
Or thou could'st rest on mine.
Or thou could'st rest on mine.
ON RETURNING SOME LETTERS.
Take back these little pledges,
Thou gav'st in bye-gone years;
Calmly I resign them all,
Though moistened with my tears.
Thou gav'st in bye-gone years;
Calmly I resign them all,
Though moistened with my tears.
They breathe a tale of pleasure,
Enjoyed at friendship's shrine;
Though they have gone forever,
Remembrance still is mine.
Enjoyed at friendship's shrine;
Though they have gone forever,
Remembrance still is mine.
I was in the roseate morning
Of earlier, happier days,
When life's unclouded sunshine,
Breathed but of blissful lays;—
Of earlier, happier days,
When life's unclouded sunshine,
Breathed but of blissful lays;—
That we. these dear mementos
Exchanged, with feelings pure,
Believing that cur friendship,
Forever would endure.
Exchanged, with feelings pure,
Believing that cur friendship,
Forever would endure.
