The Joys of Love.
BY FIN1.E::011KSON.
\Vheu hopes we cherish quickly fade
Within the shadowy past ;
When loudly roars around our path
Misfortune's hitter blast;
\Vlieii nature to our stricken souls
A dreary aspect wears,
And we are bowed beneath the weight
Of life‘s unchanging cares ;
When winds are howling wildly round
Life’s dark and gloomy skies;
0, their the fadcdjoys of yore
Around our pathway rise.
Though faded now, yet once Itliought
That they could ne‘er decay;
Yet, like the fragile summer flowers,
They all have passed away;
And the emotion of my heart
Is chilled above the scene,
As on the wreck: of love I gaze,
And think what once has been ;
