k tree's shade, And this warm, true heart o' mine, Mary? Oh, hast thou forgotten the promise thou made, When so fondly 't was pressed to thine, Mary? Oh, hast thou forgotten, what I ne'er can forget, The hours we have spent together? Those hours which, like stars in my memory, yet Shine on as brightly as ever! Oh, hast thou forgotten that moment of bliss, So fraught with the heart's full feeling? As we clung to each other in the last embrace, The soul of love revealing! Oh, hast thou forgotten that sacred spot, Where the farewell word was spoken? Is the sigh, and the tear, and all forgot, The vow and the promise broken?

SONG OF THE EMIGRANT. Oh! the land of hills is the land for me, Where the maiden's step is light and free; Where the shepherd's pipe, and the hunter's horn, Awake the joys of the rosy morn. There 's a voice in the wind, when it comes from the lake, That tells how the foamy billows break; There 's a voice in the wind, when it comes from the wood, That tells of dreary solitude. But, oh! when it comes from the mountain fells, Where the Spirit of Song and Freedom dwells, Where in youth's warm day I woke that strain I ne'er in this world can wake again. The warm blood leaps in its wonted course, And fre
