Hoarded for those who shall deserve the dower.

SENTIMENT. 



I found thee yet a modest dower, 



An infant of the spring, 

 Unheeded in the rosy crowd 



Of beauty, blossoming. 

 And little didst thou think how cleai 



Thy spirit round me shone, 

 To light the inward joy of hope 



My tongue could never own. 



ANSWER. 



But they say that the garland affection is wreathing 



Will fade ere the morrow has wakened its bloom ; 



They say the wild blossoms where young Hope is breathing, 



Their beauty, their fragrance, is all for the tomb. 



Mrt. Otgood.
