TO MISS C. M. SEDGWICK.
O glory-wedded! to thy brow A coronal is given,For which, when song and Greece were young, The very gods had striven.
O, find'st thou not that envied crown A weary weight, and chilling?Its lonely glory, is it not An ice-touch, heartward thrilling?
Ah, no! e'en now a rosy light Those vernal leaves is flushing; O woman-hearted, love's warm buds Are 'mid thy laurels blushing!
