MARCH n. 
laims’ jMifl. 
CONDUCTED BY AZIDE. 
A FANTASIE. 
I sit beside my gentle one ; 
Her hand is laid in mine ; 
And thus we watched the parting sun 
In golden haze decline. 
Across the fields the shadows creep, 
And up the misty hill; 
And we our twilight vigils keep 
At our own cottage-sill. 
The dsitant brooklet’s murmurs come 
Like bell-notes through the leaves ; 
And many an insect's mazy hum 
Its dreamy music weaves. 
The dove’s last note, in rippling beats, 
Upon the air departs ; 
The breath ol'all our garden sweets 
Is creeping to our hearts. 
The russet woodbine round our porch 
In clustering ringlets twines ; 
The honeysuckle’s crimson torch 
Gleams through the dusky vines ; 
The sunset rays are trembling now, 
Amid the trellis-bars — 
They paint upon my darling’s brow 
A glory like the stars. 
Her cheek is nestling on my breast, 
Her eyes are bright with tears ; 
A prayer half-breathed and half-represt, 
My listening spirit hears. 
Oh 1 blessed be the changeless love 
That glorifies my life 1 
All doubt, all fear, all guile, above — 
My own true-hearted wife !

The chosen haunt of quiet thought, 
I seek no Fortune’s flattering gale; 
I better love the peaceful lot. 
I leave the world of noise and show, 
To wander by my native brook ; 
I ask, in Life’s unruffled flow, 
No treasure but my friend and hook. 
These better suit the tranquil home, 
Where the clear water murmurs by ; 
And if I wish a while to roam, 
I have an ocean in the sky. 
Fashion can charm, and feeling bless, 
With sweeter hours than Fashion knows : 
There is no calmer quietness 
Than home around the bosom throws.
