LADIES' EXPRESS.
[The Editor will he glad, to give insertion to any local contributions from his lady friends that may be considered interesting in the family circle, or to the sex generally.} o SHE IS NOT DEAD TO ME. Oh tell me not that she is dead Tho’ now in stilly death enshrined, The tomb holds all my fancy wed— The form round which my love entwined. Tho’ never more her voice shall send Its winning music to the air, Nor soft emotion beauty lend To much loved features once so fair, Yet lives she in my memory — No, no 1 she is not dead to me. Oh! tell me not that she is dead Tho’ missing in a thousand ways, The heart by fondest memory fed Still mirrors happv by-gone days. In all around some trace I see, Her vision will before me rise ; And loving glances bent on me Are looking down from starry skies. Ah. no 1 she is not dead to me, Nor whilst I five can ever be. F.J.P. Gisborne, March 1875.
