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!




WILLIAM BLACKWOOD, EDINBURGH; AND
T. CADELL, STRAND, LONDON.
