LOVE IS DANGEROUS. 



I sent thee late a rosy wreath 

 But thou thereon didst only breathe, 

 And sent it back to me. 



Ben Johnson. 



SENTIMENT. 



Yes, Love is but a dangerous guest 



For hearts as young as thine, 

 Where youth's unshadowed joys should rest, 



Life's spring-time fancies shine. 



Then, sweetest, leave the wildering dream, 



Till Time has nerved thy heart 

 To brook the fitful cloud and gleam, 



Which must in love have part. 



Ah! life has many a blessed hour 



That passion never knows, 

 And youth may gather many a flower 



Beside the blushing rose. 



Mrt. Osgood.
