Relief

My dream is o'er, my heart's a rest;
No idle hopes its peace molest;
Never again will love of mine
Be cast, rejected, from thy shrine.

It is not pride that bids me wear
A quiet and untroubled air;
My smiles are no poor tricks of art-
They speak the sunshine of my heart,

Farewell! Pursue in peace thy way;
I care not where thy feet may stray;
No idle griefs my peace molest,-
My love is o'er, my heart's at rest.
