FLORA’S ALBUM. 
Virgin’s Bower. 
“ And virgins-bower, trailing airily, 
With others of the sisterhood.” 
John Kbats. 
ARTIKICE. 
Let me see him once more, 
Eor a moment or two; 
Let him tell me himself 
Of his purpose, dear, do; 
Let him gaze in these eyes. 
While he lays out his plan 
To escape me — and then — 
He may go — if he can ! 
Let me see him once more. 
Let me give him one smile. 
Let me breathe hut one word 
Of endearment the while; 
I ask but that moment, — 
My life on the man! 
Does he think to forget me ? 
He may — if he can. 
E. S. OsaooD.
