From the Charleston Courier.
Young Beauty through the dewy night,
Lay near a glittering streamlet lie.
When Genius, on his wings of light,
Next balmy morn came fluttering by.
Upon her cheek a smile he hung,
And breathed upon her lips a sigh,
Then o'er her form with rapture flung,
A glory from his home on high.
She flew with him o'er Fancy's plain,
And linger'd oft in feeling's grove ;
She ranged from mountain to the main,
Then fled with him to realms above-
The mould of Earth, the flame of Heaven
A home (below awhile) may try ;
But round the world in tumult driven,
Their native mansion is the sky.
