SENTIMENT. 

 The Lady to her Lover. 



Thon art fickle as the sea, thou art wandering as the wind, 

 And the restless, ever-mounting flame is not more hard to bind. 

 If the tears I shed were tongues, yet all too few would be 

 To tell of all the treachery that thou hast shown to me. 

 Bat it wearies me, mine enemy, that I must weep, and bear 

 What fills thy heart with triumph, and fills my own with care. 

 'T was the doubt that thou wert false, that wrung my heart with 



pain; 



But now I know thy perfidy, I shall be well again: 

 I would proclaim thee as thou art, but every maiden knows 

 That she who chides her lover, forgives him ere he goes. 



Bryant.
