POETICAL ASTLUM, . Prom the Lady's Weekly Messender. Loud, loud blows the wind on the moore, And chill is my path thro the fnow ; An outcail unfriended and poor, O'er the face of the wild world I go. Ilufli, hufh my fweet babe I for thy Cry Is more than my anguifh can bear ; 0 God ! will thy merciful eye But look on my frantick defpair. At the door of the tich man I knock'd, For plenty was written thereon, But the rich man my poverty mock'd, And tauntingly bid me begone. : Cold, cold is my bofom. O day ! But colder the hnrd heart of pride ; No tear for the f retched have they Who fiil on profperity's tide, : T he pifTenger witnefiM my gnef - V And told me pctrd my figh ; 1 fpurn'd at hUprofTrred relief, , For few'd was the glance of his eye. '. My fleps by the banquet houfe pafs'd, Where guefts enter'd jryous and free ; I flunnk at the wintery blafr, But there was no entrance for me Thro the night, and the ftorm and the cold Mil ft I and my little one roam ; But e'er many moments are told, Skill we both reach a laft quiet home. eafV hiby, thy (creaming fo wild, There 1 creep to this half frozen bread ; And now will the mother and child Lie uow.i on the deep fnow to icft.
