ACCEPTATION.
From the high halls of Brunswick, all youthful and
gay,
From the hearth of her fathers, he lured her away:
How joy'd she in coming—
how smiling the bower;
How sparkling their nuptials—
how welcome her dower.
Ah! short were her pleasures—full soon came her
cares—
Her husbandless bride-bed was wash'd with her
tears.
