SONNET.

It seems to me that somewhere in my

soul There lies a secret self as yet asleep; No stranger hath disturbed its slumbers

deepNo friend dispersed the clouds that round

it roll. But it is written on my fortune's scroll

A thousand bands would hold me down

to this low sphere

When thou didst grieve;
Ah, should Death come upon morn's rosy

breast, I fear

I'd crave reprieve!
But when, her gold all spent, the sad day

takes her flight,

When shadows creep,
Then, with my lips on thine to whisper,

“Love, Good-night,"
And fall asleep
