Yet though quick death it were
That rich heart-vintage I must drain,
And quaff that hidden garden's air,
Again--again!

LADY DUFFERIN.

1807-1867.

_SONG._[A]

April 30, 1833.

I.

When another's voice thou hearest,
With a sad and gentle tone,
Let its sound but waken, dearest,
Memory of _my_ love alone!
When in stranger lands thou meetest
Warm, true hearts, which welcome thee,
Let each friendly look thou greetest
Seem a message, Love, from _me_!
