SLEEPING LOVE
within a forest as I strayed,
Fardowna Sombre autumn glade, -
I found the god of love -
His bow and arrows cast aside;..
• His lovely arms extended_ wide,
4eptb of leaves above,
Between b'eraiehing boughs he made
- A placefOr sleep In rtniset Shade. .
- -
MI lips, more red than any rose,
Were like a flower that overflows
With honey pure and sweet;
, And, Clustering round that holy mouth,
The golden bees in eager drouth -
Plied busy wings and feet:
Tney knew, as every lover knows,
-There's.no.suct houey-bloom that blows.

up her work as if to quit the room, and Mrs.,.
