LOVE NOT.

Love not, love not, ye hapless sons of clay,

Hope's gayest wreaths are made of earthly flowers.

Things that are made to fade and fall

away,

Ere they have blossom'd for a few short hours.

Love not, love not, &c.

Love not, love not, the things you love may die,

May perish from the gay and gladsome earth,

The silent stars, the blue and smiling sky,

[ocr errors][merged small][merged small]

Love not, love not, &c.

Love not, love not, the things you love may change,

The rosy lip may cease to smile on you, The kindly beaming eye grow cold and strange,

The heart still warmly beat, yet not be true.

Love not, love not, &c.

Love not, love not, oh! warning vainly said,

In present hours, as in years gone by, Love flings a halo round the dear one's head,

Faultless, immortal, till they change or die.

Love not, love not, &

FLOW, O MY TEARS.

FLOW, O my tears, and cease not!
Alas, these young spring-tides increase
not!

Oh, when begin you to swell so high
That I may drown in you!

THE PILOT.

OH, Pilot! 'tis a fearful night,
There's danger on the deep,

I'll come and pace the deck with thee,
I do not dare to sleep.

Go down! the sailor cried, go down,
This is no place for thee;
Fear not! but trust in Providence,
Wherever thou may'st be.

Ah! pilot, dangers often met,
We all are apt to slight,

And thou hast known these raging

waves

But to subdue their might.

It is not apathy, he cried,

That gives this strength to me,
Fear not! but trust in Providence,
Wherever thou may'st be.

On such a night, the sea engulph'd
My father's lifeless form;
My only brother's boat went down,
In just so wild a storm;

And such perhaps may be my fate,--
But still I say to thee,

Fear not! but trust in Providence,
Wherever thou may'st be.
