ORIGINAL POETRY.

SONG.

Are other eyes beguiling, Love? Are other rose-lips smiling, Love? Ah, heed them not; you will not find Lips more true, or eyes more kind, Than mine, Love.

Are other white arms wreathing, Love? Are other fond sighs breathing, Love? Ah, heed them not; but call to mind The arms, the sighs, you leave behind— All thine, Love.

Then gaze not on other eyes, Love; Breathe not other sighs, Love; You may find many a brighter one Than your own rose, but there are none So true to thee, Love.

All thine own, mid gladness, Love; Fonder still, mid sadness, Love; Tho’ changed from all that now thou art, In shame, in sorrow, still thy heart Would be the world to me, Love.—L. E. L.
