WOMAN'S LUVE.
A woman's love, deep in the heart,
Is like the violet flower,
That lifts its modest head apart
In some sequestered bower;
And blest is he who finds that bloom.
Who sips its gentle sweets;
He heeds not life's oppressive gloom,
Nor all the care he meets!
A woman's love is like the spring
Amid the wild alone.
A burning wild, o'er which the wing
Of cloud is seldom thrown:
And blest is he who meets that fount
Beneath that sultry day;
How gladly would his spirit mount!
How pleasant be his way!
A woman's love is like the rock
That every tempest braves,
And stands secure amid the shock,
Of ocean's widest waves;
And blest is he to whom repose
Within its shade is given;
The world, with all its cares and woes,
Seems less like earth than heaven.
