STOUT L'UNIVERs M'ABANDONNE"


DEDICATED TO s**.** M****s*
Oh trust not her FORM deckd with beauty and grace
Oh, let not her smile give thy heart any pain!
For once she proved false, tho so lovely to view,
And, deceiving me once, might be tempted again.
recreant 10 friendships pure fame she has proven
Her vows have found to be light as the air
Who'd believe that faithlessness ever could dwell
In tenement formd Of material so fair
See her smile, now while this heart is bursting
And now her gay laugh rings loud in my ear!
And vainly strive to appear cold, unmoved-
can see none but her. no other can hear
Not one look she gives of cen recognition,
And see with contempt she turns from me now,
And smiles on another! He takes too, her hand,
While deep glow Of pleasure suffuses her brow
Farewell to the hopes | once entertain'd,
Fen life now is hateful since she is untrue;
Like tender exotic wither and die


If deprived Of her smile, to me sunlight and dew.
l welcome grim Death, greet thee as friend
Thou bringst me no terror, thy presence no fears
Since thou comst with the hope that at some future


hour,


She'll pay to my memory the tribute of tears.
