POETRY.

[For the New-York American.] LINES-to her who will understand them.

"A place in thy memory,

dearest,

And a fiftieth share in each smile,
And believe me, wherever thou steerest,
I'll be after thee-after a while."

I have mark'd thee, when coxcombs were trying

To deafen thine ears with their prose,

And marking have thought, even sighing,

Of a fog laying siege to a rose.

But the rose from her foggy annoyance
Shrinks droopingly, palely away,
Reserving her beauty and joyance
For the radiant noon of the day.

But none on thy cheek can discover

If thou hast a preference too

There's a smile for the dunce and the lover,
Alike if they bore thee, or woo.

Sometimes thy eternal flirtations
Too severely my constancy try:-

I renounce pusillanimous patience,

And valiantly turn me and fly.

But as Noah's stray dove, when despairing

Of a resting-place out of his bark,

Came again, like a suppliant, bearing

An olive branch back to the ark,

Even so, after each ebullition

Of petulance, still to my chain

I return, with the sighs of submission,
And ask but to wear it again.

"A place in thy memory, dearest,
And a fiftieth share in each smile,
And believe me, wherever thou steerest,
I'll be after thee-after a while."

COUNT PIPER.

"Flinging the dew of the Morning back,
Over each image and earthly track."

Clouds athwart the stars are straying,
Moaning winds disturb the night,
Leaves unto the dust are falling

Touch'd with blight.
Autumn eve shuts cold around me;
Gay companions-here are none;
Silent thoughts and visions give me
Life that's gone.
Minutes seen and snatched forever-
Told in beauty! told in mirth!
How they flitted bright and noiseless
O'er the earth!

How my heart untouch'd of trial-
Bathed in sunshine daily lay,
Reckless all of care or conflict
Far away.

Joyous hours! I glow to meet you,
Even in fitful, changeful dieains!
Pierce the shadow of my slumbers
Vanished gleams!

Float yo o'er the faded garlands,
Ou my brow that used to be;

Sun the paths my feet have trodden

Where my spirit so was reaping
Gentle gifte from altars nigh,
I could wish amidst their fulness
Ne'er to die.

Happier days than e'er can meet me
To the mystic land are flown;
Days of blossom! days of blessing!
Past and gone.

Lo! the future, Winter sealeth,
Barb'd in sternness, storm and night!
Birds and flowers along the pathway
Ta'en to flight!

Lessons from the present flowing-
Yield but dull, unwelcome lore,
All unlike the spreading pages
Traced of yore!

Let me then the past embracing,
On her breast my vigils keep.
Till amidst her murmuring music
Lull'd to sleep.

Voices of the lost beside me,
Faces of the loved shall be !
I shall feast at older fountains
Plenteously!

Joyous hours! 1 smile to greet you,
Even in changeful, fitful dreams!
Pierce the shadow of my slumbers
Vanished gleams!
