HE CAME TOO LATE.
He came too late neglect had tried


Her constancy too long;
Her love had yielded to her pride


And the deep sense Of wrong. ....
She scorned the offering ofa heart


Which fingered on its way,
Till il could no delight impart,


Nor shed one cheering ray. AZ.
F.. He came too late at once he felt ..ga
That all his power was o'er;
Indifference in her calm smile dwelt--
She thought Of him no more. a ..a
Anger and grief had passed away, ,e
Her heart and thoughts Were free;
She met him and her words were gay, s
No spell had memory. .1s
He came too late! the subtle chords


Oflove were all unbound
Not by offence of spoken words,


But by the sights that wound,
She knew that life held nothing now


That could the past repay; .sm
Yet she disdained his tardy vow,


And coldly turned away.
He came too late! her countless dreams
. OF hope had long since flown
No charm dwelt in his chosen theme,
Nor 10 his whispered tone: z"
And when with word and smile he tried
Affection still to prove, 5a@ .r"i
She nerved her heart with woman's pride,
And sPurned his tickle love.
