THE BUDDING HOPES.
The budding hopes which hourly spring,While Fancy's bower is young and green,
Too often perish ere they fling
Their viewless odours round the scene;
But, oh! there's one, which, planted here,
The heart's red current flows to cherish,
And should that blossom disappear,
The soil it springs from too must perish.
