 Can every change and season prove. 



Anon. 



SENTIMENT. 



I think of thee, when morning springs 



From sleep with plumage bathed in dew, 

 And like a young bird lifts her wings 



Of gladness on the welkin blue; 

 And when at noon the breath of love 



O'er flower and stream is wandering free, 

 And sent in music from the grove, 



I think of thee I think of thee. 



I think of thee, when soft and wide 



The evening spreads her robes of light, 

 And, like a young and timid bride, 



Sits blushing in the arms of night: 

 And when the moon's sweet crescent springs 



In light o'er heaven's deep waveless sea, 

 And stars are forth like blessed things, 



I think of thee I think of thee. 



6. W. PJ entice. 



ANSWER. 



I would not hush that constant theme 



Of hope and reverie, 

 For every day and nightly dream, 

 Whose lights across my dark brain gleam, 



Is filled with thee. 



Atlantic Souvenir, 1832.
