SONGS OF THE AFFECTIONS,
WITH
OTHER POEMS.
BY FELICIA HEMANS.
They tell but dreams—a lonely spirit's dreams:—
Yet ever through their fleeting imagery
Wanders a vein of melancholy love.
An aimless thought of home:—as in the song
Of the caged skylark ye may deem there dwells
A passionate memory of blue skies and flowers.
And living streams—far off!
