;TO. ti f MORRISON, CHICAGO A FRENCH DANCER—SHOWING REVOIvVING SKIR: EXERCISES IN EASY NARRATIVES. 53 Into the foaming river,Which, ah, too quickly, boreThat pledge of one no more! With fond impatience burning,The chieftains lady stood, To watch her love returningIn triumph down the flood,From that days field of blood. But, field, alas! ill-fated.The lady saw, instead Of the bark whose speed she waited.Her heros scarf, all redWith the <irops his heart had shed. One shriek—and all was over—Her life-pulse ceased to beat; The gloomy waves now coverThat bridal flower so sweet,And the scarf is her winding-sheet. — Thomas Moore, THE BOY THAT LAUGHS. KNOW a funny little boy, The happiest ever born;His face is like a beam of joy.Although his clothes are torn. I saw him tumble on his nose. And waited for a groan ;But how he laughed! Do you suppose He struck his funny bone? Theres sunshine in each word he speaks; His laugh is something grand;Its ripples overrun his cheeks Like waves
