The Eternity Of Love: A Poet's Dream.

Queenly her gesture—I was poor and proud ; She looked upon me as a boy , and never Gave me a thought , or word that whispered hope ; And yet I loved for ever aud for ever .

Stately aud tall , aud very winsome she ; I , what was I , to one , that whomsoever Once came within the magic of her sway , Felt as I felt for ever and for ever . Of high and noble lineage she

came—Her name was one from history to sever Would be to blot from England's annals out Some noble passages which , aye , shall live for eA'er .

And so the days go by , ancl comes the storm , The Wintry winds and snow , in wild endeavour , Sweep by in gusts and cover up the land In a white pall , as if now dead for ever .

And snowdrops come , with violets so blue , And daffodils flaunting gaily now wherever In Avood or garden , sheltered vale or copse , The Spring ' s sun brings them forth a jov for ever .

The swallow and the nightingale come back , And glorious Summer now will us deliver From bitter , biting winds , so cold , alack ! They now do bloAv across the mighty river .

Then sweet , soft clays and loving western Avinds Ancl glowing skies , thanks to the Great Giver , Come once again to bless the ancient Earth ; And so the changeless , changing days go round for ever .

And Autumn ' s rich profusion follows next , Bright fruits , and golden grain , ancl purple heather , In orchard , field , and on the mountain side , NOAV tell their happy tale of gratitude for ever .

The Eternity Of Love: A Poet's Dream.

And sothe seasons change and years roll by , And I am waiting for my love , to give her Tho wealth of my poor heart when she shall change , And recognize this love which lives for ever .

But , ah ! methinks the time will never come , My spring hath past , and summer ' s nearly over , The autumn of our life comes on apace , No ray of hope does o ' er my spirit hover .

True to the last , though seasons change , not I ; Faithful till death , my love shall leave her never ; And when the end comes she perchance Avill know The Poet loves for ever and for ever .
