A fragrant leaved, low-growing plant, once believed good

REMEMBRANCE. 
I cannot forget him ! 
I try to be gay, 
To quell the wild sorrow, 
That rises alway; 
But wilder and darker, 
It swells as I try ; 
If jH eaven could forget him, 
So never can I! 
I cannot forget him ! 
I loved him too well! 
His smile was endearment, 
His whisper a spell. 
He haunts me forever ; 
I worship him yet, 
Oh! idle endeavor! 
I cannot forget. 
Mrs. Osgood.
