Excerpt from Corolene: A Poem Corolene. Who is it? said all, as they rushed to the doorTo see the late stage, and what guests might arrive; There's only one man! and are there more? Then scattered the girls, - that merry beehive. And who was that man, so dusty and tired, Who came to the Springs in search of good health?The new guest, of whom the girls have enquired, Surrounded by beaux of good looks and wealth? He would be quite handsome! exclaimed a bright maiden, Perhaps, if he had a clean, shaven face;I guess he is married - he looks overladenWith the cares a family man must embrace. The speaker was dark, and those eyes were night's shadow, And friends with respect bent ear to her words;With bearing quite proud, and stately, she had, Oh, A voice that was sweet, like the carol of birds! In a far distant City, a man of deep feelingHad worked his quick brain, in the channels of trade, And from his connections so often concealingThe aches of his frame, - till in bed he was laid.
