The very tear thy coldness brings Seems welcome, since for thee it springs. Have I not smiled when thou wert gay, Wept did thy look reprove, 150 VOICES OF THE BORDER. Loved thee as woman sometimes may, As man can never love ? All this yea more, 't was mine to give, And unrequited lo ! I live. Yet thou did'st once with accents bland Beside me bend the knee. And swear in truth this little hand Was more than worlds to thee. This jeweled hand what is it now ? The token of a broken vow. Oh, love ! h...ow oft the bridal ring Binds fast its golden tie, To make the heart a slighted thing Ye pass unheeded by ! The charm is broke the spell is gone - And conscious woman weeps alone. THE DEAD MOTHER. " SHE sleeps how long she sleeps the sun hath sunk beneath the west, And risen twice, yet still she keeps that deep and quiet rest. Why did they stand beside her couch and weep with such ado? Come hither, brother ; thou and I will gaze upon her too. Yet stay, we will not go there yet but let us wait until The sinking sun again hath set and all around is still, Except the spirit-winds which rise like wailings on the air, Then will we step in silence forth and gaze together there.
