We part not, though we said adieu—
Since first thy thoughts chimed in with mine,
And from those glorious eyes of thine
A heaven of love looked down on me,
My very life round thine is poured—
Thy words within my soul I hoard—
Still true, in every heart-throb true
To thee, dear love, to thee!
THE SAILOR'S LIFE-TALE.
A TRUE REMINISCENCE.
BY SYBIL SUTHERLAND.
(DEDICATED TO MY COUSIN MARY S——.)
"There's many an 'o'er true' tale, coz,
That comes to the listening ear,
That makes the cheek turn pale, coz,
And brings the glistening tear."
