WINDOW SONG.
How is it tint Corinna lies Aaleephiß at the dawn of day, Nor stirs to watch the sun arise And chase the dew»'of night away? In some still Rtove a wakini; bird, With notes of melody divine, His song his morning song unheard By any ear save mine. The yellow sun above the hill Beyond the glistening cedw peem; The day at length i» come, but stlil Unliwlinsly Corinn:i sleeps! Haply (hi; listless ill earner knows A day of fairer ho-iuty breaks When those bright eyes o[ hers unclose And she herself awakes. -Pall Mall Gaatte.
