Sweet ray Of life's young dreamy day,
Thou mortal star Of earthly bliss,
Round whose dear form the graces play
y Thou centre point Of happiness--pk !
Wilt thou permit my eye 10 rest, l5a'


On the fair vision ofthy form2


And may hopes firing pinions rest,
Nor dread the wreck, nor fear the storm
Or hast thou yet no heart to love a'


Breaking thus fresh from orient skies;
While earth and heav'n thy spirits move


As lit wonders meet thine eyes2
Della sweet name! yes, sweeter far


Than liquid sounds. or morning light;
Della, be thou my morning star as,


A cloud by day, star by night.
If not-yet still, sweet girl, my soul
Shall cling to that dear form Of thine;
Pll5love while stars shall gid the pole N


And life's last sun shall cease to shine.
Not io;u, but must, its sweetness prove;
aa Not will, but nsttst, its conflict try;
For all the heav'n Of imaged love, a>


And with its hope--despair and die.
