NEW YOBK. 



There's a bnwer of Roses near Bendemeei's stream, 

 And ihe nitiJttingale sings round it all the day l< n^: 



In tlic days (if my childln.od 'twas like a sweet dream, 

 To sit 'mid the Ruses and hear the bird's song. 



That bower and its music I never furget, 



But olt when alone, in the bloom ot the year, 



I ihink Is the nightingale singing there yet? 

 Are the Rooes siil! bnght by the calm Bendemere ? 



Xo. the Roses soon wither'd that liung o'er the wave, 



t-lut some blosgoms Wire gatlier'd while fre?hly tliey shone. 



And a de^ wa- distiil'd from their dowers that gave 

 All the fragrance of summer when summer was gone. 



—Moore.
