LOVE’S EVENING STAR.
Un, welcome to the sunny time G hen opening buds reveal the flowers, And all aiound melodiously Sweet matins till the vernal bowers ; It brings again that blissful hour, The origiilest tar of life to me, When, fondly pressing heart to heart, We felt love’s thrilling ecstasy. The dew of love was on thy cheek ; les gems of pearl were in thine eyes, As from thy ruby-tinted lips Came forth the sweet, consenting sighs. ’Twas new-born joy that made thee weep, And every tear was sanctified ; Two hearts were melted into one, When Heaven gave thee to be my bride. Ah, when I fondly called thee mine, And fervently thy vows were given, The words were caught from off thy lips And echoed to the eai of Heaven ; And He who ever deigns to bless When guileless love implores his aid, Made recoid of the holy bonds, And bless'd the union He had made. Through all the days till frosty age, Thy love has grown more sweet and dear. And it has brightened all the way, A charm and solace ever neat ; And now, w hen near life’s evening close, How beautiful the day declines 1 As eai ihly sceues are glowing daik, Love’s evening star mote brightly shines ! S. Dyer.
