love’s token-flowers.

Or I can trace, when thou art far, 
Thy pathway lilto a distant star. 
MICHAELMAS DAISY.— Aster Alpi- 
NUS. 
Farewell. 
Go, dearest one, nor think my heart 
Will ever breathe a sigh, 
Because it never more may share 
Thy glorious destiny, 
My love has never sought reward, 
’T was joy enough for me 
To dwell within my solitude, 
And cherish thoughts of thee. 
While yet- a child I freely gave 
Affection's untold wealth, 
Since then I’ve seen the swift decay 
Of hope, and joy, and health, 
Yet murmured not at Heaven’s decree, 
Though thus of all bereft,
