SONG.

[The paleness stealing o'er thy cheek]

The paleness stealing o'er thy cheek
To me betray'd thy pitying thought,
And ill thy faltering tongue could speak
The cruel lesson pride had taught:
Oh give me back the lingering smile,
That bade me hope, though you denied!
Oh let me live in doubt awhile,
And follow, blind, my blindfold guide!
