LOVE LIKE THE WEARY BIRD.
I
There's a time when we feel the want of friends,The early one's the best,
When love, like a weary bird, descends
To find a place of rest;
And finds on all the earth not one
Familiar spot to rest upon.
II
The snow may cover each once green tree,The bird, alas! finds no repose;
And love as sad a change may see,
Hearts chill'd by worldly snows!
With weary wing the bird must fly,
And wounded love must soar on high!
