I, A D IE S’ NAMES. 
63 
Signification .. Beloved. 
Emblem . White Rose-bud. 
Sentiment .... Thou hast stolen my affection. 
Ah ! Emily, it grieveth me, 
To speak my firm belief, 
But facts, those stubborn things, affirm, 
Thou art an arrant thief^ 
Ah! e’en from me thine early friend, 
Nay, dearest do not start; 
Thou hast relentlessly purloined 
What most I prize,— my heart! 
Say not it is a worthless thing. 
Its loss I must bemoan,— 
But still I ’ll let it rest, if thou 
Wilt give to me, thine own.
