THE IVY. 
It is not gloomy, brightly play 
The sunbeams on its glossy green 
And softly on it sleeps the ray 
Of moonlight, all serene. 
It changes not as seasons flow, 
In changeful, silent course along ; 
Spring finds it verdant, leaves it so, 
It outlives summer’s song. 
Autumn no wan or russet stain 
Upon its fadeless glory flings j 
And winter o’er it sweeps in vain, 
With tempest on his wings. 
Mrs. Hemans,
