BY W. KENNEDY,

I dearly lov'd a garden flower

Which near my summer casement grew;
Of all that dwell in field or bower,

None half so sweet I ever knew:
Many a time, with fond delight,

I've bent its faultless form above,
And kissed its leaves, and deemed it might
Still bloom for me, and be my love.

The autumn winds blew high, and bore
My fairest from my sight away;
I mourned its fate an hour or more,
Then gave my heart to other sway,
A bird with an enchanting note,

The minstrel of an orange grove,
Became my captive, and I thought
He'd live and share a maiden's love.

L. 29. 2.

B

But one night to my window came
The tinkles of a soft guitar,
And tones that hung upon my name-
My bird's notes were less pleasant far.
I gave the warbler leave to go,

In freedom to his native grove,

And sighed

[ocr errors]

Poor thing! ah, now I know,
Thou wert not meant to be my love!"

MY DISTANT HOME,

There is a spot, joy's hallow'd seat,
To which thought oft directs her flight,—
A spot where kindred feelings meet,
Where love and duty both alight.
That spot, whose inner charms outvie
The pomp of court, the gilded dome,-
Where smiles and sighs meet a reply,
And hope is centred, is my home.

When sun-beams gild the eastern sky,
And song the silent woods is waking,
With hope to home I turn my eye
That morn is there as sweetly breaking.
At eve, as on the stars I gaze,

While cooling breezes fan the air,
My benisons for home I raise,

And sigh for gales to waft them there.

When that lov'd spot no longer flings

O'er my fleet hours the richest zest;
When those, to whom affection clings,
Beneath the turf lamented rest.
Earth's fragile scenes I'll not explore,
Nor mourn my home adversely riven,
But upward shall my proud soul soar

To find a second home in heaven.
Corn Market, Oxford.

J. P
