Remember that, here, we still can find
A bright little world of our own ;—
Whose sun is a sun that beams all night,
In the hearts that round us shine;

And its stars are the eyes that fling their light
O'er waves of rosy wine! -

Be our's the sun that shines all night,

And the blushing wave that reflects its light!

If hope, when she spreads her gossamer sail

Along life's billowy waste,

Is sure to be tossed by misfortune's gale,
And to perish at length in the blast,—
Let us launch her, at once, on this purple tide,
Where her vessel can always float,

While mirth's gay streamers flow, far and wide,
Around her gilded boat !—

O'er seas of wine when hope is afloat,
Our's are the spirits to ballast her boat!

286 IF TO-MORROW MAY DAWN ON A STORMY DAY.

Fill high the glass!—this night is ours!

The dew of social feeling

Falls on each heart, its brightest flowers
And warmest hues revealing!-

Then, weave them into a chaplet bright,
Our happy brows to shade,

And live on the perfumed wreath, to-night,—
Ah! think how soon 'twill fade!—

To-night-to-night, the garland twine,
And mingle, there, the laughing vine!

THE END.
