In dreams I see my pleasant earthly home;

Oh, bid them there resyllable my name,

Forgetful of the sins that make me moan!

Sweet world of bliss, forever lost to me,

For your blue heavens and pleasant sun I pine!

For grass, and flower, and stream, and rustling tree,

I mourn forever in the nether clime!

LOVE’S LABOR LOST.

I.
