THE PIMPERNEL.
Bright blossoms wet with showery tears
On her shut eyes their droplets shed.
Only the wakened waves she hears
That singing drown his rapid tread.

"Sweet, I am here!" Joy's gates swing wide,
And heaven is theirs, and all i1s well,
And left beside the ebbing tide
Forgotten is the pimpernel.
