ANN.
The broken heart, that loves in vain,
Resigns the loved one never,
But, in despair, still hopes to gain
The lost for ever:
Then, greet the shy morn's treacherous glow,
Thou pale autumnal blossom,
Ere chill November's sleet and snow
Beat on thy bosom!
Resigns the loved one never,
But, in despair, still hopes to gain
The lost for ever:
Then, greet the shy morn's treacherous glow,
Thou pale autumnal blossom,
Ere chill November's sleet and snow
Beat on thy bosom!

So, Ann still loved: it was her doom
To love, in shame and sorrow:
Charles came no more! but “He will come,”
She said, “to-morrow.”
Oh, yet for her, deep bliss remain'd!
She dream'd he came, and kiss'd her!
And, in that hour, the angels gain'd
Another sister.
