HELEN HALSEY:
OR,
THE SWAMP STATE OF CONELACHITA.
A TALE OF THE BORDERS.
BY W. GILMORE SIMMS,
AUTHOR OF “RICHARD HURDIS,” “THE YEMASSEE,” “THE
KINSMEN,” &C.
“Even so it was with me when I was young;
If we are Nature's, these are ours: this thorn
Doth to our rose of youth rightly belong;
Our blood to us, this to our blood is born;
It is the show and seal of Nature's truth,
Where Love's strong passion is imprest in youth:
By our remembrances of days foregone,
Such were our faults,—O! then we thought them none.”
Shakspeare.
