from Persia. Flowers pale red. 

 I AM YOUR CAPTIVE. 



Go, flower, and my passion declare, 

 While her delicate praises you speak 



Yet the Peach Blossom hue is less fair 

 Than the bloom of her beautiful cheek. 



SENTIMENT. 



I loved thee, and must love thee still, 



In memory of the past, 

 Amid whate er of earthly ill 



My future lot is cast! 

 E'er in my boyhood's sunny prime, 

 When brightly from the urn of Time 



Life's golden moments fell, 

 Thou wert a peri to my eyes, 

 Sent from Love's own sweet paradise, 



In my young heart to dwell.
