CANST THOU FORGET.
, Canst thou forget, beloved, our first awaking, From out the shadowy calms of doubt 3 and [dreams, To know love's perfect sunlight round us breaking, Bathing our beings in its georgeous beams ? Canst Thou Forget ? Canst thou forget, when first thy loving fingers Laid gently back the locks upon my brow ? Oh ! to my inmost thought that touch still lingers, And softly glideß along my foi'ehead now. Canst Thou Forget ? Canst thou forget, when every twilight tender, 'Mid dews and sweets, beheld our slow steps roye, And when the nights, which came in starry splendour, Seemed dim and pallid to our heaven of love ? Canst Thou Forget ? Canst thou forget the last most mournful meeting The trembling form clasped to thine anguished [breast ; The heart, against thine own, now wildly beating, Now fluttering faint, grief-rung, and fear[oppressed. Canst Thou Forget? P. W. Invercargill, Feb. 2, 1866.
