FIRST LOVE.
FIRST LOVE.
Serene is Js'ature's majesty,
And beautiful her pride.
When Summer brings her loveliness
To meadow, tree, and tide.
And as serenely beautiful,
The young enthusiast deems
The form that prompts his waking thoughts.
And charms his fondest dreams,
What time his heart glows warm beneath
First love's enchanting beams.
The voice of birds — the gush of brooks —
Young flowers — the milky way —
Moonlight upon the midnight deep
AVhen winds have died away !
The radiant smiles of infancy —
Soft music's magic wile —
Remembrance of departed joys
And Hope's iUusive guile : —
These have a soothing influence
Through life's enduring toil !
