DEVOTION. 



Still the loved object the fond leaves pursue ; 

 Still move their root the morning sun to view; 

 And in the Heliotrope the Nymph is true. 



Eusden't Ovid. 



SENTIMENT. 



When other friends are round thee, 



And other hearts are thine; 

 When other bays have crowned thee, 



More fresh and green than mine; 

 Then think how sad and lonely 



This wretched heart will be; 

 Which, while it beats beats only, 



Beloved one! for thee. 



Yet do not think I doubt thee; 



I know thy truth remains; 

 I would not live without thee, 



For all the world contains. 

 Thou art the star that guides me 



Along life's troubled sea; 

 Whatever fate betides me, 



This heart still turns to thee. 



G. P. Morn*.
