LITTLE POEMS, GRAVE AND GAY.
A WOMAN'S SIGHS.
A woman's sighs call up for her the years ■ Of maidenhood, the time of joys and fears, When thoughts, half-formed, were stirring m her breast; Those golden days with youth and beauty blest, Ere trials come, and blighting sorrow sears. The prattle of sweet little lips she hears Once more; and, thinking, while the tender tears Fall fast, of baby hands she once caressed, A woman sighs. And so, 'mid all her thoughts 'tis love endears Each memory, be it sad or Sweet, and clears The clouds of doubt and pain which once oppressed. * Ah, Faith and Hope are good, but Love is best, The Love triumphant that to Heaven uprears A woman's eyes. —Francis H. Lee.
