Rival of Phoebe's placid gleam,
    Still more celestial is thy beam;
How brilliant is thy lustre clear,
    Amidst the balmy atmosphere.

Continue lucent shining star,
    To guide my wandering steps afar;
And still each evening as I stray,
    Shed o'er my walk thy silver ray.
F. D. B.


CHANSON.

(WRITTEN IN LONDON.)


Quand j'etois en Galles, ce pays charmant,
        Avec mes oiseaux,
        Pres de mes ruisseaux;
Mes ruisseaux si transparens;
        Parmis les vallées
        Humides de rosée;
        De doux eglantiers,
        Je fus couronnée:
Oh! que je me trouvois toujours gaie.
F. D. B.
