WOMAN'S WORTH. 



Knowcst then the land where groves of citron flower, 

 The golden Orange darkling leaves embower 

 Know'st thou tlie land? Oh, there, oh, there, 

 I long with thee, my loved one, to repair.

SENTIMENT. 



All! woman in this world of ours, 



What gill can be compared to thee? 

 II<w slow would drag life's weary hours, 

 Though man's proud brow were bound with flowers, 



And his the wealth of land and sea, 

 If destined to exist alone, 

 And ne'er call woman's heart his own. 

 ****** 

 Yes, woman's love is free from guile, 



And pure as bright Aurora's ray; 

 The heart will melt before its smile, 



And earthly objects fade away. 

 Were I the monarch of the earth, 



And master of the swelling sea, 

 I would not estimate their worth, 



Dear woman, half the price of thee. 



George P. Morrit.
