LOVE ASLEEP.
Wake him not he dreams of bllss'
Ills little lips put forth to klssi
His arms, cntwined in virgin grace,
Seem linked in beautiful embrace.
He smiles-and on his opening lip
Might saints refresh and angels sips
lie blushes-'tis the rosy light
That morning wears on leaving night.
He sighs-'tis not the sigh of woe;
He only sighs that we may know
lfkindred sighs another moves
For mutual sighs arc signs OF love-
lie speass-it is his dear ones name,
He whispcrs--stll il is the samc'
The imprisoned accents strive III VAN.
They murmur through his lips again.
lie wakes! the silly little boy,


10 break the mirror thus of joy;
lie wakes to sorrow, ard in pain;
oh! Love, renew thy dreams aSa'r'
