THE RUSTIC MAIDEN TO HER LOVER.
"Our love it ne'er was reckoned,
Yet good it is, and true;
I'ts half the world to me, dear,
It's all the world to you."—Hood.

I have loved thee with a love
That can know no change;
And with thee, through distant lands,
Oft in fancy range.

I have pictured to myself
A lone, but lovely spot,—
With honeysuckle twined around,
A neat and simple cot.
