SONGS, _FOUND IN THE ALBUM OF A DELIA CRUSCAN POET._


_(FOR THE MIRROR.)_


THE HUMMING-BIRD.


BY T. MOORE, ESQ.


Thou winged gem, whose starlike splendour
Gleams on the bosom of the rose,
I lore thy light when skies are tender,
And winds are wandering to repose.
The Grecian lute, the Moorish song,
And Crockford's home, with all that's in it,
May challenge fame from many a throng,
But thou, _alone_, fair bird, canst win it!
