Twas but bubble-yet twas bright,

 And gaiiy danced along the stream Ofiife's wild torrent in the light

 Of sunbeams sparkling like dream Of fheaven's own bliss for loveliness--

 For fieetness like passing thought; And ever of such hopes as these

 The tissue of my life is wrought For have dreamed of pleasures, when

 The sun of young existence smiled Upon my wayward path, and then

 Her promised sweets my heart beguiled; But when came those sweets to sip, They turned to gall upon my lip. And I have dreamed of Friendship too:

 For friendship had thought was made To be mans solace in the shade, And glad him in the light; and so

 ] madly sought to find friend Whose soul with mine would sweetlY blend And as two placid streams unite, And roll their waters in one bright

 And tranquil current to the sea,

 So might our happy spirits be

 Borne onward to eternity But he betrayed me; and with pain woke-to sleep and dream again. And then dreamed of Love, and all

 The clustered visions of the past

 Seemed airy nothngs to tuat last Bright dream--It threw magical

 Enchantment on existence-cast A glory on my path so bright seemed to breathe and feelits light;

 But now this blissful dream is oer,

 And have walked to dream no more. Beyond each distant glimmcring star

 That wrinkles in the arch above,

 There is 8 world of truth and love, Which earth's vile passions never mar;

 Oh. could snatch the eagle's plumes, And soar to that bright world away,

 Which Gods own holy light illumes With glores of eternal day,

 How gladly every lingering tic That binds me down to earth I'd sever, And leave, for that blest home on high, This hollow hearted world forever,
