Nature made the cruel falcon.
Nature made the tender dove,
Nature made Amanda's bosom
Trembling ut the name uf love.
lhit ha;l her heart been made, of marble,
Tempered Mod, or gnarled oak,
Soon in love it would have melted, ,
When young Ashley smiled mid spoke.
As oft I've seen the grey lead melting
And all its iliiluess lost 111 light,
Ashley's eye, though always lull rims,
At love's approach, grew tlazz-hng bright.
