And all the senses Music's power confessed. We, too, would please, but hopeless that desire, As some dislike what others most admire, Some feed the ear, others would feast the sight, What's wrong for one, perchance for 'tother's right. This likes the grave — another admires the gay. Some like few words, others have more to say ; We would please all, but first pray let us ask. Who e'er accomplished yet that arduous task ? Whate'er the talent we to action call. Vague is the hope which aims to please ye all ! m^vt Love is the offspring~of a purer clime, Not native to a blighted world like this, The one memorial of a happier time, K'ei faithless falsehood coiled within a kiss. -Deivart, Life hath moments when a glance, A flushing of the cheek perchance, A Word, the cadence of a word, Tells us what ne'er from lips was heard.
