'I never will believe young men more For they will flatter and lie, And when they have'gain'd your affection, then Adieu to my girl and good by.' I'VE GAZED UPON THY SUNNY SMILE. l'vz gez'd upon thy sunny smile, in silent joy; I've mark'd the rose tint on thy elmek Thy beauteous eye. l've sen thy beauty ripen more, And stronger glow; I saw thee in thy youthful prin--- I see thee now! I've view'd the early rose, at morn, Whose fragrant sigh Breath'd sweetness to the summer, air, And flow'rots nigh: I 1ook'd at eve-alas! the storm Had spoi!'d the gem; Its leaves were scatter'd--none remain'd Upon the stem. I've wept to thik that age will dim Thy beaming eye; That care may wash from off thy cheek The sweetest dye. To mark the change would break my If swiftly wrought; But care and sorrow atewily steal And 'damp each thought. 0,,,Google
