FLORA’S ALBUM. 




























Torift, 

FOR 



—— Its numerous roots, that bind so close, 
Make it an emblem of true sympathy. 


SYMPATHY. 


Oh! ask not, hope not thou too much 
Of sympathy below; 
Few are the hearts whence one same touch 
Bids the sweet fountains flow ; 
Few — and by still conflicting powers 
Forbidden here to meet: 
Such ties would make this life of ours 
Too fair for aught so fleet. 
Mrs. Heman3. 






















Oh! if thy spirit meet 
On earth but one 
Whose heart in sympathy 
Springs to thine own; 
Who will with holy love, 
Deep, pure, and true, 
Be the bright star of home, 
Loving but you; 
Cherish that priceless flower, 
Hold the gem fast ; 
Fame, ‘wealth, may fade away, 
That love will last.
