FORSAKEN. 
Why comes he not 7 the lone and weary days 
Pass gloomily when he is gone 
And still from me he lingering stays, 
From me, his own fond, plighted one, 
Why comes he not ? my heart is all his own. 
The orient tinge, shed by the morning sun, 
Is not more rich, in rosy light, 
Than were my cheeks, when first he won 
The young fresh heart, that made them 
bright:— 
Why comes he not, to witness their sad 
blight ?
