FAIRY WHISPERINGS.
Supposed to be addressed to, and responded by a young pine-tree, in a state of transformation.
INVOCATION.
Spirit of the dancing leaves,
Hear a throbbing heart that grieves,
Not for joys this world can give,
But the life that spirits live:
Spirit of the foaming billow,
Visit thou my nightly pillow,
Shedding o'er it silver dreams,
