VERSES OLD AND NEW.
. LOVE'S 'POTTER. I ask no time when sunrise is, It's up or not, Sweetheart, with thee; And wlien I first behold thy face. That is the break of day to. me. I ask not of full tide, or when , Low water is, that ships may in Or out of port; when'tiiou dost come, Commerce dotli on my mind begin. . Until I see thee come like spring, ■ Jly spirit's streams are locked in ice; But navigation does begin As soon- as 1 can hear thy voice. Thy touch can launch a iieet of boats, 'With bags of sweets and bails of bliss; lo take the tide of my blood-veins. Straight'to my Heart's Metropolis. —William H. Davies.
