Lines Written in the Album of Miss M. L

BY MISS E. R. SNOW.

Friendship's tones are sweet and thrilling, Then Mary, friendship's wreath entwine,

Like the zepher's soothing sound- But never worship at its shrine;

Like the beauteous rainbow filling, For death will sever every tie

Friendship's halo gathers round. That is not based above the sky.

Sweet sounding harp! I prize it more

Than both the India's boasted store; Heav'nly hopes death cannot sever,

I know its worth-its charm I feel Nor time's bold torrent sweep away.

This moment o'er my bosom steal. The "Word of God" will stand forever,

Though empires waste and crowns decay;

Yet with chasten'd thought I cherish Then let its precepts be your care,

Fairest gems of earthly mould; And mould you mind and practice there;

In the grave our "memories perish"- And calmly while life's tempests beat,

Friendship there forgets its hold. Like Mary, sit at Jesus' feet.
