“Thee loved I ever, still love I thee,
And thee will I love through eternity.”
And that kiss—that kiss—with Promethean flame
Thrilled with new life the quivering frame;
And the maid uprose, and stood by his side,
That student’s own loved and loving bride!
BLOOMING NELLY.
On a bank of flowers, in a summer day,
For summer lightly drest,
