The Ladies' Column.
NOT FOR ME ! He never sings for me now, Though all his songs I knew In the happy days gone by now, When we -were happy too. How well I loved to listen As happy as could be, But, ah ! the times are changed now, He never sings for me. He never smiles on me now ; His once bright sunny faco Has graver grown — and stern now 'Tis marked with sorrow's trace. His smiles are not so bright now, As once they used to be, But he gives them to the rest now, He never smiles on me. He never thinks of me now j He said I must forget What we were to each other Ere hope's bright sun had set. And hop 9 has sunk for me now, Beneath Despair's dark sea, But woman's pride will show him He need not think of me. Helene. Saddle Hill, January, 1849.
