FOR THE HERALD,
MISS II-- E--
The frosts of many a wintry sky
Have damped youth's warm, poetic fire,
But yet for you, fair maid, I'll try
To sound my long neglected lyre.
I need not sing what pleasures gay
Await upon each rural scene,
What beauties there their charms display,
'Mid verdant meads, 'neath skies serene.
But yet though sweet each vocal grove,
Alone thou would'st not be content,
Thy heart would sigh for one to love
And o'er its lonesome lot lament.
Then do not spurn the anxious youth
That offers all that nature gives,
Whose lips sincere, and words of truth,
Breathe a heart whose virtue lives.
Let Albert be your choice, fair maid,
Let love your willing hearts unite,
And thus in youthful charms arrayed
Let each the other's love requite,
LENOX.
