TRUE LOVE.
(Bt Andrf.w Kinross) 3 fear ’tis Jen own to very few To love as truest of the true, Wh-.-j two fond hearts shall beat as one, ‘ !I the course of life has run. - - , man is honest, brave and true, -corns unworthy acts to do, L n lovely wo;nan, sweet and kind, .. tender heart and gentle mind; A- when such hearts together meet, An.; filled with love responsive beat; How sweet is Love’s first warm embrace When blushes paint the glowing face, And lips meet lips in fervent kiss! • Ho wealth can buy such perfect bliss. Then sweetly on such lives shall flow, And love round each a halo throw; The marriage tie shall cause no pain, ' Ho wish to break the tender chain, No angry word be ever spoken, No promise made be ever broken, lint each shall ease the other’s pain, Ar.d each shall share in every gain, Li each shall fondly strive to please I ' , -lays of trouble or of ease ; I or forced by fate to roam, The heart shall think of home, sweet home. Man need not ask a higher bliss Than to be blest with love like this.
