ANSWER TO A. ALLAN.
{Original.) I've loved thee long, I've loved thee well, Aud now my love to theo I'll tell. I»ve sought thee when the dew was falling, And the gentle dove her mate was calling ; At eve when the daisy sank to sleep, And the moonbeams danced on the waters deep. I've sought thee when all to rest had gone, But the murmuriug streams with their silvery song ; ' ' When the feathery flakes of the beautiful snow Were whirling and dancing to and fro. I've sought thee in the flowery lea, While birdlings saug from tree to tree, And floweretß gleamed with their dewy load, Singing their love to Nature's God. I've sought fchee where minstrels sweetly play, And my soul was tuned to their trembling lay ; I've sought thee here.and I've sought thee there, I've sought thee, darling, everywhere. Love, richer thau the golden mine, Purer than the jaspor sea ; Brighter than tho stars thai shine la Clarinda's love for thee, E.G. Lawrence, 10th July, 1885.
