HERVEY TO NINA.—miss bremer.

Divided in our lives, and yet twin-hearted!
Our sad first parents shared a happier fate;
When, from Love's Eden, dearest, we departed,
'T was ours to sever at the outer gate.

Ah! yet I know, whatever path thou 'rt tracing,
Thy tearful eye is sometimes backward cast;
Thou art not coldly from thy heart effacing
The thrilling story of our blissful past,—

When life was like a sunset's glories blended
With all the waking splendors of the morn,
And when, dear love, if some light showers descended
It seemed 't was but that rainbows might be born
