Voice of the heart; a wife's love-offering . ^M My vijion bids me look afide,Down yon dim, lengthning path of years,To view the maid, the wife, the bride,Midjl changeful fcenes of Jmiles and tears.

In gladfome mirth her Jleps oft wanderd there,Her nafcent bloom fannd bright by zephyrs mild;When evry fragrant breath wafted a parents prayr for their loved, loving, child. Her breajl, the haunt of wrapt feraphic brow undimmd by earthly Jlrife or care ;How little deemd Jhe then, thofe fame bright beams * Poggio Imperiale, Florence.
