LONG the shore, along the shore The little wavelets come and go, Advancing and retreating : But from the shore, the steadfast shore, And mute I hold thee evermore, Along the shore, along the shore, Her pathway bright surrounding: While on the shore, the dreary shore, For ever and for ever, DINAH MARIA CRAIK. SHE CAME AND WENT. 3S a twig trembles which a bird As clasps some lake, by gusts unriven, As, at one bound, our swift Spring heaps An angel stood and met my gaze, Through the low doorway of my tent; Oh, when the room grows slowly dim, JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL. NEVER AGAIN. EVER again. This shivering rose, that sees Will bud next summer with more fair than these- Never again. Oh, dearest, do you know Never again. The love we break to-day And even with you some memory must remain, But ah! no more. The sunlight died away Will wake again, but never wakes the past Never again, never again. AUGUSTA WEBSTER. |
