THE LATEST VERSE.
FOB THE XV. NOCTURNE, BT F. CHOPIN. • A month of green and tender May, All woods and walks awake with flowers, "Wide sun-lit meadows for the day And moon-bathed paths for evening houxv. A bright, brief dream that had no pas f , And of the future knew no fear ; A kiss at first, a sigh at last — Only last year. ■ Another spring, dim, loveless woods ; No farewell kiss, no parting tear ; No stone to mark where silence broods O'er the dead love we found so dear. But oh, to me the green seems gray, The budding branches all are sere, For sweet love's sake, that died one day, Only last year.
— Chambers' Journal.
