The Salamanca Corpus: The Poetical Works of Miss Susanna Blamire (1842) And having own’d my pen a sad blab,— Vex’d e’en that Caution should distrust Those friends I love, those friends so just, Those steadfast hearts I dare confide in, And hope for ever to reside in,— I drove cold Prudence from my ear, Her whisper’d doubts refus’d to hear, Promis’d to list some other day, My letter seal’d, and sent away. [170] [171] . A CAUTION TO MISS B. WHEN Evening comes with dewy feet And tempts you to the woodbine seat, Sending her sweet voice in the breeze To whisper through the leafy tree; Come, come, sweet sisters, come away, “And see the silvery floods of day” Dip yon bright cloud, whose golden glow Gleams on this little world below! While the bright sun in state retires, Not yet extinguishing his fires, But leaves a tint of saffron hue, With a melting stream of milky blue,— A ruby tinge with topaz bright, The little lamp of lingering light,— That gently for the shadows gray Prepare a soft but solemn way. ’Tis now that damps begin to rise, Or fall like tears from weeping skies; Stay not, sweet friends, to wipe away Those pearly drops of sorrowing day, But let them seek the sacred cell Of some fair lily’s yellow bell, Or hang upon the parched leaf Like the soft drops of silent grief, Nor with unhallow’d foot essay To brush one precious pearl away;
The Salamanca Corpus: The Poetical Works of Miss Susanna Blamire (1842) For Health—who loves the meanest flower, And sips the beverage of the shower— All jealous for the rose’s bloom, And every herb that breathes perfume, Knows their sweet odour to refuse If robb’d of half their balmy dews. Ah! rob them not, nor lingering stay To take a farewell of the day; But let Health lead you by the hand Ere Night shall stretch her ebon wand, Or Eve from her alembic pours The precious essence of her flowers.
