HARE-BELL. 



love's music. 

 ANSWERED LOVE. 



BV HENKY T. TUCKERMAN, 



Life's chalice sparkles to the brim once more ! 



Such pure endearments vital good impart, 

 How blest this glimpse of a celestial shore ! 



How god-like this o'erflowing of the heart ! 

 It is no dream ; — her pale, impassioned face, 



Her answering glance so liquid, warm and deep, 

 Those fervent tones, that long and hushed embrace, 



Were not the offspring of enchanted sleep ; 

 Yet, yet I hear each soul-endearing word, 



My ravished ear those strains delicious fill, 

 And every pulse that joy tumultuous stirred, 



With a remembered transport vibrates still : 

 This hour absolves me from time's hopeless reign, 

 And with one golden link redeems his wasting chain.
