WOMAN'S LOVE. 



Each Pink sends forth its choicest sweet, 

 Aurora's warm embrace to meet. 



M. Robinson, 



SENTIMENT. 



What is man's love? His vows are broke, 

 Even while his parting kiss is warm ; 



But woman's love all change will mock, 



And, like the ivy round the oak, 

 Cling closest in the storm. 



And well the poet, at her shrine, 



May bend and worship while he woos; 



To him she is a thing divine, 



The inspiration of his line, 

 His loved one, and his muse. 



If to his song the echo rings 



Of fame 'tis woman's voice he hears; 

 If ever from his lyre's proud strings 

 Flow sounds, like rush of angel wings, 

 T is that she listens while he sings, 



With blended smiles and tears. 



HalUck.
