THE MAID OF TlCKAHOE.
There is a place unknown to fame,
A valley that! know;
By some it es by Logan 8 name,
Br o'fters Tnckahoe ;
Jrever thrills my heart the same
. Wherever I may go
For there I've known life's sweetest joy,
And sorrows fiercest pains :
Love made my bliss but to destroy, , .
My tears have fell like rain :
The maid was modest, timid, coy,
And loved me well again.
No other could I ever love,
My first and only flame ;
My heart, as faithful as a dove,
Was echo to her name :
The chorus she to every song.
The chord to every strain.
Adila is the sweetest name
That ever yet was sung;
'Tis ever throbbing in my heart ;
iTi'ion mvtoneue:
The first and last upon my mind,
: Amidst the old and young.
I love her well, with all my might,
' And more I cannot say :
Of her I'm dreaming all the night,
And thinking all the day ;
Even when I lift my voice to praise,
Or when I kneel to rray.
Mv love was not a morning flower
That shuts before 'tis noon :
My love was not a rainbow shower
That disappears as soon :
2for is it yet the painted bower
That yields us no perfume.
As fairy tales declare :
There's music in my heart for you,
And sunshine reigning there ;
And you have nothing else to do
Than all that bliss to share.
I beld you gently to my breast,
Just like a caged bird ;
You 'gainst my heart your bosom press'd,
But never spoke a word ;
I saw your soul beyond control.
By honest passion stirred.
And then I gently spoke of love,
You owned the magic name ;
Your eyes all bright with inward light
Revealed the ardent flame ;
And you and I were one to be
1 'When winter came again.
' You've broken now your vows to me.
You've taken back your word ;
I cannot count myself so free,
The adamantine chord
Which bound our hearts, is yet to be
A thing to be abhorred.
O! what a fount of gushing wo
From this one thought is started ;
More bitter words I ne'er shall know.
Than these, that "We have parted."
And now a wanderer I go,
Forsaken, broken hearted.
I cannot live without thy love,
And every hope is dying.
The world cannot this grief remove,
That dearest boon denying.
1 chase the shadowy phantom still,
The shade keeps ever flying.
O! keep this truth within your heart,
('Tis not an idle notion.)
That few have loved as I have loved.
So holy with emotion.
My soul is consecrate to thee
In loves sincere devotion.
The sun may warm the turtle's nest,
The dew revive the flowers,
The grass may all the greener grow
From Summer's genial showers,
And words of love cheer other hearts
Less desolate than ours.
Yet O fare-well, inconstant one,
O ! fare-thce-well, forever
The holiest ties beneath the sun
With ruthless hands you sever;
You've crushed my fond hopes, one by one,
I'll hope no more no never.
When memory ponders on the past,
I cannot help but weep ;
Those moments were too sweet to last,
Too precious long to keep ;
Now all is crushed before the blast,
Like visions in our sleep.
Strong were the ties that bound our hearts,
And strong the chain you sever ;
With spirit strong I labored long
To keep the links together ;
O ! effort vain, this very chain
Is broken now forever.
With genial sun and gentle rain
The drooping flowers may flourish,
The imprisoned bird may sing again,
Good news fond hopes may nourish ;
Bat sun and showers and news are vain ;
Without thee I must perish.
Tby heart was mine, and mine was thine,
And Hymen's bonds had yoked them,
If truths were ever in our souls,
That was the time they spoke them ;
If loves were ever in our hearts,
Then Cupid's fires awoke them.
Yet go, but with thee ever bear
My love without deflection ;
When other days shall come with care.
You'll think of this rejection ;
For love like yours, I may declare.
Must have its resurrection.
The wintry blasts may o'er it blow,
The frosts its leaves be drying.
Its head be covered o'er with snow,
Cold winds around it sighing.
The trunk still lives, again to grow,
For true love knows no dying.
Where love the fond heart once has wrung,
Its wounds may have no closing ;
But all in vain, 'twill bide the pain,
In Tain :twill shut its woes in.
And nurse its grief, and shun relief,
For love has no reposing.
My being in thine own was bound,
With us love had its revol ;
I thought together hand in hand
Life's wildering maze to travel ;
I thought together, heart to heart.
Its mysteries to unravel.
Now life is drawn from out my soul
By words that you have spoken,
The vows my spirit rested on
You wickedly have broken.
Of future overhanging wo
I seem to see the token.
It seems that prophet like, I see,
(There's sadness in the vision,)
One who devotedly loved me,
(O earth was then elysian,)
The wife in covenant to be,
Now wronging her decision.
And in that wrong she drives the steel
Deep into her own bosom ;
And from that wrong she yet shall feel,
(O strange, O dire confusion,)
A thousand things that must reveal
How great was her delusion.
And while I gate, a loneliness
Is o'er her spirit creeping ;
And darkness gathers round her path ;
Her soul is sad, and weeping ;
And for the one she truly loved,
Its faithfulness 'tis keeping.
Repenting, that in eril hour
iter jealous spirit hasted
To dash the jos of ,ove U
aj . TeU "he weU had tasted ;
6 Keth for
r " bub wasted.
fc"J l.besIde the open door,
the sits, and looketh mainly
Ju0n. whoM 8h"dow on the floor
She 11 ever look for vainly
J": ber beart, he ll com. no more
Whom she dismissed disdainly.
r , - - , . .
u uiu no i mean me ining she said,
- She mattered, only muttered ;
F or coals were burning in her head,
Hey Jjeaxt so wildly flattered ;
A'ow if she could, she'd sink like lead
The things that then she uttered.
She'd give the world, could she recall
The bitter words then spoken ;
She'd give the world to kindle all
The loving ties then broken :
But vainly now she seeks a peace
The former things revoking.
I would not be that weary thing
For all the gains we borrow ;
With not a joy to cheer her now,
With no hope for to-morrow ;
But desolate with eating care,
And heart earoding sorrow.
She mourncth now from evstill morn,
From morn till eve she grievoth.
Light to her eye doth not return;
No more her soul receiveth
Those words of love it rested on ;
And hope her sad heart lcaveth.
A wront was done to one she loved,
And pride led her to boasting.
I see that wrong come back to her,
As fowls come home for roosting.
With sorrow stung, her soul is wrung,
Her heart is nigh to bursting.
O ! why has love so strong, .to true,
In human hearts a resting.
May Heaven in mercy look to you,
And grant you this requesting ;
And with its grace, your soul subdue,
From self and sin divesting.
Yet. fare-thec-wcll, 1 would not hold
A false one to vows plighted ;
Yes, fare-well but, 'tis not the mould
Of earth, has disunited
Our loving hearts, but broken vows,
And promises all slighted.
Fare-well, in pathways far apart
Our lives aro nowlividcd ;
And yet we mutt be joined in heart,
Fate has it so decided :
My soul turns not away from thee
In whom it has confided.
From thee my heart its bliss has drawn.
To thee 'tis ever turning ;
Thy word it ever rested on,
IV o faithlessness discerning ;
And none but you my soul would woo.
With honest passion burning,
The same warm sun may o'er us shino,
The same pale moon be beaming ;
The stars above shall mark our love,
Their mild light round us gleaming .
Our souls shall meet, and often greet
Each other in our dreaming.
Alas too soon they will communo
With days of former gladness ;
And then recall the kind words all,
As well the words of madness ;
And this shall beat to fiercer heat,
This never ending sadness.
Again fare-well, the wrong that's past,
I fear will have no mending;
And bro'ten vows have come between
Two souls in union blending;
And broken hearts, and withered hopes,
And sorrows thick descending.
Yes go, a weary one, and lone,
This parting seemeth fitter;
With leaden steps we'll wander on,
For love hath lost its glitter ;
And gathering clouds shut out the sun ;
Life's waters, too, are bitter.
The soul must seek, among the meek,
A true, congenial spirit ;
Its only rest is a faithful breast ;
Its only trust, true merit :
We must esteem, and faithful deem,
Where we love's joys inherit.
In marble walls, and painted halls,
Where wealth and rank sat dining,
I've had a place, and there could trace
The heart for true love pining.
0 ! :tis not wealth, nor rank nor pelf,
That makes tho souls clear shining.
But 'tis the soul-lit beaming eye,
The sweet lip's fond caressing,
That gives the soul its ecstacy.
Love's holy bliss possessing ;
O here is joy without alloy ;
For love is life's true blessing.
Our dearest home is in the heart,
The heart with true love teeming;
Our light is only from the eye
With warm affection beaming;
Our bliss will flow from faithful lips
With smiles forever gleaming.
Mine was a heart that beat for you
With honest love awakening ;
A faithful breast where you might rest ;
Of that true love partaking;
Your earthly bliss must be in this,
A love that knows no shaking.
The night-bird gives her sweetest song,
The thorn her bosom stinging ;
In saddest notes nur numbers float
When love the heart is wringing ;
My soul transpierced with arrows sharp,
Its requiem is singing.
My ardent love has built my tomb,
And raised my funeral pyre ;
I've gathered much, I've gathered long.
And piled it high, and higher,
Xow, Phoenix like, I flap my wing.
And perish in the lire.
My dying song shall be for thee,
My heart's last beat be thine ;
May love as true as mine for you
Around thee still entwine ;
To quell each fear, and dry each tear,
With tenderness like mine.
