II. A KIND PROVIDENCE.

Frederick Locker-Lampson

He dropt a tear on Susan's bier, He seemed a most despairing swain; But bluer sky brought newer tie, And — would he wish her back again?

The moments fly, and, when we die, Will Philly Thistletop complain? She'll cry and sigh, and — dry her eye, And let herself be wooed again.
