THE SOLACE OF A TEAR.
There is a joy tho sad hoart feels, . Which sounds oi mirth would wakeon vain, When o'er tho heart some memory steals^ Aud happy hearts live o'or again : Thero is a charm when these have gone, . Aud brighter thoughts no longer cheer, ' When wandr'ing f riendlesa and alone— • The gentle solace of a tear. - "■■ ■ It ia a joy unfolt, unknown, By all but one, around whoso heart Such strong and tender ties havo grown As fate or sorrow, cannot part. Oh ! what can yield such sweet relief, When torn from all the heart holds dear, -Or give to long; unspoken grief"'. Such gentle s daco, as a tear? There is a joy the sad heart feels, -.Which sounds of mirth would jrake in vain, Wheho/er the heart some memory steals Ancflkppy hours live o'er again.
