Ever after from their Mary.


[TO A RIVER IN WHICH A CHILD WAS DROWNED.]

Smiling river, smiling river,

On thy bosom sunbeams play;

Though they're fleeting, and retreating,

Thou hast more deceit than they.

In thy channel, in thy channel,

Choked with ooze and grav'lly stones,

Deep immersed, and unhearsed,
