Dvi ir wife, how often docs it cheer mc To iew tny frcvjucnt, fond endeavor Witii nts of Lindners to rndear me, Thy brow still mild and pleasant ever. How cheerfully dost thou pursue Tuc path of strict do.uestic duty ; Aad many a painful task, ip through, Tiiat dims the iustre of thy beauty. When on the couch of sickness laid,
My olood with schorching fever boilin
lay patient arms s ipports my head, Tny soothing voice my pain beguiling. Aiid when returning health appears, 1 mark, cliy gl.stenmg eye ot pleasure, TJiy UiantUui look, thy great ml tears, And think, thee earth's supre. nest treasure. When dark misfortunes! round me hover. And till my anxious soul with sadness ; Thy kindness sootiis the present hour, And bid'si the future beam with gladness. How does thy love's unwearLd zeal To all my faults preserve a blindness: And can 1 ever cease to feel How much I owe thy patient kindness? Oft wilt thou guess my wish though mute, Forestall desire with sAoet prevention, Tnus pro ldmg love's oest attribute Is constant, Wakeful, kind attention. To c ill ihe best of every thing Toy f od dlf.ction neer misses ; Wuu s Jules, love's offering wicn tiiou brin And oiasiiiiig take my greatful kisses. Thy tlio lghtful care will still provide Whatever tante or fancv rehsh ; No gentle means are unapplied, Tuc sacred flame of love to cherish. Oh! may we thus together live Till fate's com mission'd shaft shall fly; Th j a let us both the doom receive, An t as we've liv'd together die. T. J. M. August 26, 1821.
