OH, LEAVE THY DREAMS.

Oh, leave iby dreams my Ellie-ba« n!* Tlie aun is on the mountain he«tntr, And ev’ry wild bee in the grove Is visiting its flow’ry love; And ev’ry bud, o’er hill or lawn, 1 ) Glows freshly in the rosy dawn, As if they blushed 10 meet together. Here brightly all around my way, And ’neatli the forest shaded alley, Hulf lit, the dewy grass appears Across the scene like fairy spenra, While shaded vi’lels, peeping gay, Like blue eyes from the leafy spray, Adorn lor thee the silent valley. To-morrow's dawn the verdant scene Thy silent step shall witness only ! Yet, sadder still my lot must be— Afar from Erin’s shoies, aud thee ! Mo smiling plains or valleys green, Bui wid’rnng oceans, spread between. The hearts that love, and feel so lonely ! Awake thee, then! thy geutle dream Of maiden love is early broken ! But, lo! upon this well-known tree I’ve cut my name, and set tor thee A woodbineTrom the valley tide. To spring, or wither, by its side— An emblem true, or talseelove token ! Ami of*, beneath this le*ly glade, Then varied Wlnoiil shall lell thee whether Thou ait. in lime, uuolranged to me, Or 1, in distance, false to thee ! If |O, thy plant shall closer twine— My emblem tiee shall slowly pine ; but. if we’itf true, they II cling together ! Glenml.oi, Little/Lara.
