A MIRAGE.
I see her from the ciovvd, Xor seek her fated glance ; How strange that we should meet By this ignoble chance. At times her eye* greet mine With fire too quick reproved, As if 'twas ages hencp, The hour when first we loved. A little hour, alack ! S>> swiftly sped it then : In vain, to turn the glass And count the sands again. A .stand beside the sea And watch its wavering gleam, And ask my dull despair Whence n^e so fair a dream. A vision 'twas unreal — A mir.ige of the .shore ; The echo in my breast Is but the ocean's roar !
