THE SWEET PEA. 
219 
ILLUSTRATION OF THE SENTIMENT. 
We must part awhile; 
A few short months, though short, they must be long 
Without thy dear society; hut yet 
We must endure it, and our love will he 
The fonder after parting; it will grow 
Intenser in our absence, and again 
Burn with a tender glow when I return. 
Rear not, this is my last resolve, and this 
My parting token. 
Pebcival.
