Seite 49 - All thoughts, all passions, all delights, Whatever stirs this mortal frame, All are but ministers of Love, And feed his sacred flame. Oft in my waking dreams do I Live o'er again that happy hour, When midway on the mount I lay, Beside the ruined tower.
Seite 54 - Again I see my blushing bride Before the altar, at my side ; Her gentle air, her timid look, When I her slender finger took And placed the ring ! I gave my troth To love and cherish her till death, And she pledged hers; and there to both The priest our several duties read. — I did not freely draw my breath Till it was done, and we were wed ! For I had felt it far too dear, Too sweet a draught for me to sip, Thought some ill fate would interfere And snatch the cup when at my lip ; — Nor could...
Seite 85 - I've met with marrying mammas, Their clever plotting have detected; Match-making schemes among papas, This heartless work I ne'er suspected ! The want that struck me, this explains— She sees her future cold and blank; Wives without love are slaves in chains, And husbands hear the fetters clank ! How could...
Seite 116 - ... pearls to swine As angle thus for love of mine ; For looks give promise, which she breaks — And still by looks again re-makes. How cruel was the wrong she did, Pretending love she could not feel ; Down in my soul the wound lies hid, Too deep, alas ! for time to heal ! I danced with her to-night — a waltz — A foolish thing it was to do, It made me feel how poor and false The life we lead ; for as I flew Around with Rosa in my arms, The creature whom I love so much, Her happy...
Seite 51 - I speed away—and not alone ! I took her down a pretty set Of pearls, for my pure pearl to wear— I think I see her smiling yet!— I hope they'll suit a girl so fair. On them she looked with loving eyes, Delighted was she with my choice...
Seite 11 - steady,' 'falling,' 'strong' or 'weak,' — Ah ! who can tell the hopes, the cares These simple words to thousands speak ! And so it must be still while gold To measure wealth its place shall hold. Why, John, what is the matter, man ? — . Give way like this I never can ! — In every place, go where I will That smiling face pursues me still ! Though many pretty girls I know There ne'er was one that served me so ! How can it be? — -'Tis too absurd! — I will not bear it on my word ! Come, let...
Seite 31 - home' and once more free She came again and talked to me. I liked the laughter in her eyes, I liked the glow of exercise Upon her cheek; and, as she play'd Her feet a pretty picture made, They are such dainty, tripping feet!— But language there has made a slip, For feet like hers would never trip, They're far too clever, and too...
Seite 104 - If she admires a dashing beau How could she wed a man like me ?— If time for us once more might flow I'd keep from all this turmoil free ! A letter from Sir James, to say, They take my wife with them to stay. Now this is very good indeed; This is a friend, a friend in need !— It has removed an anxious care To know that she is sheltered there !—- They do me a most friendly turn, For I so hurriedly took flight I left it all to him !—I'll write, And thank him for his kind concern. Three weary...
Seite 53 - Delighted was she with my choice, And me she kissed in glad surprise ! — It made my inmost heart rejoice ! The day at last is drawing near, The day for which I long have sighed ; I pant with joy, I pant with fear — I go to claim my lovely bride ! PART II. BOUND by the tie of man and wifeWhatever troubles may befall — 'Tis ours to know that fullest life Where each to each is all in all. — My darling Rose, my gentle dove, I cannot tell my happiness In knowing I have gained thy love ; Nor all...
Seite 111 - His grand array I strove to rout, But still he would the attack renew, And so at last I turned him out— And then I felt more sorry, too ! For he and I were firmest friends, Now, also, I am in his debt.— I know not how to make amends— I scarcely can forgive him yet! How could he come and dare advise, And tell me what I ought to do ! My wife's behavior criticise, And preach about her beauty too...
