Ti s morn—the sea breeze seems to bring Joy, health, and freshness on its wins— Bright flowers, to me aii strange and new, A re glittering in the early dew— And perfumes rise from many a grove As incense to the clouds that move Like spirits o'er yon welkin clear— But T am sad—thou art not here. lis noon a calm, unbroken sleep A soft haze, like a fairy dream, Js lloaling over hill and stream And many a broad magnolia flower Within it-- shadowy woodland bower Is gleaming like a lovely star But J am sad—thou art afar. • 'Tis eve—on earth the sunset skies Are painting their own Eden dyes— The stars come down, and trembling glow ; Like blossoms in the waves below; And, like some unseen spright, the bree/.e Seems lingering like the orange trees, Breathing in music round the spot, But f am sad—l see thee not. "Tis midnight—with a soothing spell The tar tones of the ocean swell Soft as a mother's cadence mild, Low bending o'er her sleeping child, And on each wandering breeze is heard The rich notes of the mocking bird In many a wild and wondrous lay, But 1 am sad—thou art away. 1 sink in dreams—low, sweet, and clear, Thy own dear voice is in my ear, Around my cheek thy tresses twine, Thv own loved hand is clasped in mine. Thy own solt lip to mine is pressed, Thy head is pillowed on my breast O! I have all my heart holds dear, And i am happy —thou art heie.
