miscellaneous poems.
Return then, my beloved,
Whilst life throbs in each vein,
For death in life I suffer 'till
Thou com'st to me again.
Whilst life throbs in each vein,
For death in life I suffer 'till
Thou com'st to me again.
INVOCATION.
Stay, dear one, time may never bring
Another moment on his wing
So rich with bliss:
See, 'mid the sun-lit Heavens on high
Hang blushing clouds, a canopy
Whose shadows kiss
The trembling waves, that bound to meet
The sun's last glances, ere they fleet
Like visioned hopes.
My own, my blest, mark how below
The field and woodlands brightly glow;
Kind nature opes
Her richest stores—'tis a fair scene.
And thou, of beauty art the queen,
My lov'd, my dear!

My own, my blest, mark how below
The field and woodlands brightly glow;
Kind nature opes
Her richest stores—'tis a fair scene.
And thou, of beauty art the queen,
My lov'd, my dear!
