" Lovely to thee is yon magnolia's bloom. " Ah ! all its beauty now to me is dead, " And every hope I cherish' d long has fled. " Thou hast no father had I ne'er been one, " I had not felt what 'tis to lose a son. " I had a son, my hope, my joy, my pride ! " Oh, that he'd fallen in battle by my side ! " Unknown his fate ; in infancy trepann'd, " He haply fell into some spoiler's hand ; " Or in some luckless moment chanc'd to stray " Where the couch'd serpent waits his hapless prey. 132 MENANA. ...* " We miss'd him when the season gladness brought " To all, save me, with grief and anguish fraught ; " When snows had melted in the lake's embrace, " And birds re-peopl'd every bow'ry place ; ' When prairie flowers of purest azure hue " Disclos'd their tiny blossoms to the view ; " When the young sap through tender branches run, " And buds to leaves burst forth ; I miss'd my son ! " Yes ; miss'd him ; and I well remember how " I felt his loss. I feel it keenly now. " His mother ow'd to other climes her birth; " Spain was to her the spirit-home of earth.
