FANNY'S ERROR.
Fanny shuts her smiling eyes,
Then, because she cannot see,—
Thoughtless simpleton! she cries,
"Ah! you can't see me!"
Then, because she cannot see,—
Thoughtless simpleton! she cries,
"Ah! you can't see me!"
Fanny's like the sinner vain,
Who with spirit shut and dim,
Thinks because he sees not Heaven,
Heaven cannot see him!
Who with spirit shut and dim,
Thinks because he sees not Heaven,
Heaven cannot see him!
NEW ENGLAND'S MOUNTAIN-CHILD.
Where foams the fall—a tameless storm—
Through Nature's wild and rich arcade,
Which forest-trees entwining form,
There trips the Mountain-maid!
Through Nature's wild and rich arcade,
Which forest-trees entwining form,
There trips the Mountain-maid!
