THE MISSIVE.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

"In the East, where ladies are not taught to write, flowers convey the sentiments which letters do with us."

I.

WITH IN a lonely bower

Lingers a maiden fair,

Her eyes of Eastern lustre.

To scarlet lips do press;

Methinks I know the secret

Of that sweet maid's caress.
