The sorrow that thy mother feels was suffered once by mine. A mother's love ! — oh ! thou knowest not how much of feeling lies In those sweet words ; the hopes, the fears, the daily strengthening ties : It lives ere yet the infant draws its earliest vital breath, And dies but when the mother's heart chills in the ^ grasp of death. TO HER WEDDED DAUGHTER. 153 Will he in who se fond arms thou seek'st thine all of earthly bliss, E'er feel a love untiring, deep, and free from self as this? Ah, no !... a husband's tenderness thy gentle heart may prove ; But never, never wilt thou meet again a mother's love. My love for thee must ever be fond as in years gone by; While to thy heart I shall be like a dream of memory. Dearest farewell, may angel hosts their vigils o'er thee keep, — IIow can I speak that fearful word * farewell' and yet not weep ? 1825. TO THE EVENING STAR * * * " A single star Is rising in the East, and from afar Sheds a most tremulous lustre ; silent night Doth wear it like a jewel on her brow." Barry Cornwall.
