Rosmarinus Officinalis. 
Language — AFFECTIONATE REMEMBRANCE. 
I see tliee still, as in a clream, 
Margery ! 
I am changed, but thou dost seem 
The same to me. 
The same sweet being, bright and fair, 
"With beaming eyes and auburn hair, 
That once did my young heart insnare, 
Margery! 
Thou wast a flower that faded soon, 
Margery! 
A star that waned before night’s noon 
Did come to thee. 
Admiring eyes were strained to know 
The heavenly light thou didst bestow, 
And grieved that thou so soon must go, 
Margery ! 
I still remain, and cares are mine, 
Margery! 
Yet, as I weakly would repine, 
I think of thee ; 
The halcyon scenes we trod of yore, 
Thoughts that with sweet romance ran o’er, 
And all blest thing! thou dost restore, 
Margery ! 
W. Dearborit.
