POETRY.
From the INDEPENDENT CHRONICLE.
Messrs. Adams & Rhoades,
The happy morn of Love, has been sung by many a rustic bard, but alas! how gloomy often to its evening termination. Even the facetious Peter Pindar "feels the charm" and in the following lines has portrayed those sensations, which are the characteristic of a noble mind.
ROLLA.
THE HAPPY MORN OF LOVE.
BY DR. WOLCOT.
How happy was my morn of love
When first thy sigh engaged my heart;
Ah! guiltless of a wish to rove,
I deem'd it more than death to part.
When e'er from thee I chanc'd to stray,
How fancy dwelt upon thy mein,
That spread with flowers my wearied way,
And showered delight on every scene.
But fortune, envious of my joys,
For thee elects another's charms;
From me thy vow of love decoys,
And gives thee to a rival's arms.
In secret let my sorrows flow;
Be every happiness thy lot;
If fortune shields thy heart from woe,
Her wound to mine shall be forgot.
