ARTIFICE, OR PRETENDED LOVE. 



The fell Silent, and her sisters fair, 



Skilled in destruction, spread the viscous snare.

SENTIMENT. 



O, I did love her dearly, 



And gave her toys and rings, 

 And thought she meant sincerely, 



When she took my pretty things: 

 But her heart has grown as icy 



As a fountain in the fall; 

 And her love, that was so spicy, 



It did not last at all. 



I gave her once a locket, 



It was filled with my own hair, 

 And she put it in her pocket 



With very special care. 

 But a jeweller has got it 



He offered it to me, 

 And another, that is not it, 



Around her neck I see. 



Before the gates of fashion 



I daily bent my knee; 

 But I sought the shrine of passion, 



And found my idol thee. 

 Though never love intenser 



Had bowed a soul before it, 

 Thine eye was on the censer, 



And not the hand that bore it.
