WAKE ROBIN. — Ardor. 
’T is said that under distant skies, 
(Can you the fact deny ?) 
What first attracts an Indian’s gaze 
Becomes his deity. 
And could the Pagan’s waking eyes, 
Upon your beauty range, 
He there would fix his lasting choice, 
Nor wish, nor dare to change. 
Shenstone.

WALL FLOWER. — Faithful in Adversity. 
When all around grows drear and dark, 
When Reason half withholds her ray, — 
And Hope sheds but a dying spark. 
Which more misleads my lonely way, — 
In that deep midnight of the mind, 
And that internal strife of heart, 
WHtien, dreading to be deemed too kind, 
The weak despair, the cold depart ; 
When fortunes change, and Love flees far, 
And Hatred’s shafts fly thick and fast, 
Thou art the solitary star 
That will not set until the last. Byron.
