Vignettes:
IN VERSE.
BY MATILDA BETHAM.
THESE VERSES ARE INSCRIBED TO LADY BETHAM, AS A TRIBUTE OF SINCERE RESPECT FOR HER AMIABLE QUALITIES.
ADVERTISEMENT.
As far as the seventy-fourth page, these Poems have been printed about two years; during which many things happened likely to prevent their ever appearing. The time, however, is now come, and I have to-day found the remainder, up to where the lines end with
"Its unpolluted birthright."
On reading the whole over, they struck me with much surprise, as they appear in a singular manner prophetic. I wrote them with a general, and somewhat undefined view; and they now take the aspect of speaking on what has since happened to myself--a long seclusion, during which I was bereft of the common means of study, having given rise to one that has turned out far more important than I at first imagined, and which I have continued since, to the exclusion of every other pursuit.
Vignettes.
If writing Journals were my task, From cottagers to kings-- A little book I'd only ask, And fill it full of wings!
Each pair should represent a day: On some the sun should rise, While others bent their mournful way Through cold and cloudy skies.
And here I would the light'ning bring With threatening, forked glare; And there the hallowed rainbow fling Across the troubled air.
