MEMORIES OF FANNIE.

''They never will read it, in this sad face, gßaw I came at last to my lady’s grace; If they saw my heart they would hardly know, It lies so close and lurks so low. Bo womanly went she, so gladsome and *c good, (The charm of her never was understood; .Till I—for whom was the secret fine—- ■ Found her, and wooed her, and won her F for mine. Bhe knows—she only! how slow and sweet JMy love grew up from the palms of her feet, From low at her foot to high on her brow, From Dear—and Dearer—to Dearest—till E now. , ‘45 There is none of her—none—that I ma/ not love, Beauty of earth, or bright spirit above; But only the angels and Fannie know Why, living and dying, I love her so. —Edwin Arnold.
