FORGET NOT YOUR PROMISE.
Yon hare promised to love Vender sweet, smiling girl, A rA prize her above Jewels, silver, or pearl; Then remember that God Heard ihe low whisper'd vow, And tins dower cf the sod Lives for you alone new. Forge* not jour promise; Think the bliss cf that hour tVlieu a low, trembling whisper Placed her in your power; And remember the token Yon gave of yeer love, The vows test were spoken To the angels above. Oh, love and protect her. Of your promise beware, And never neglect her, She's resign'd to your care ; And be not false-hearted, Let the love you profess'd, Feem no: to Lave parted ■From her it so hlcss’d. Fcrgct not yonr promise. Oj, ami uevt r grow cold, But prize well her love, Tis a treasure untold ; For remember that God Heard the low. whisper'd vow Aad this Sower of the sod Lives for vou alcnc now.
