OCCASIONED BY SOME IVY LEAVES BEING WORN IN
THE BOSOM OF A FRIEND; AND MEANT AS AN
ANSWER TO A BEAUTIFUL AIR OF DOCTOR HAR-
RINGTON’S.
“WIND , gentle evergreen!” and though around
No Poet’s tomb your beauteous leaves are bound,
Yet shall their foliage still more envied prove
When twined around the heart of her I love;
And the famed Poet , could he breathe anew,
His laurels gladly would resign for you.
(Mrs. Walter Spencer)
