BY o. W. HOLMES.
saw him once before,
AS he passed by the door
And again,
The pavement stones resound
As he loiters Ger the ground
With his cane.
They say that in his prime,
Ere the pruning kniie of Time
Cut him down,
Not a better man was found
BY the crier on his round
Through the town.
But now he walks the streets,
And looks at all he meets,
So forlorn;
And he shakes his feeble head,
That IT seems as ii he said,
"They are gone!"
The mossy marbles rest
On the lips that he press'd
In their bloom:
And the names he loved 10 hear
Have been carv'd for many year
On his tomb.
My grand-mamma has said
(Poor old lady, she is dead
Long ago)-
That he bad Roman nose,
And his cheek was like rose,
In the snow.
But now his nose is thin,
And il rests npon his chin
Like staff;
And crook is in his back,
And melancholy crack
In his laugh.
! know it is sin
For me TO sit and grin
At him here:
But the Old three corner'd hat,
And the breeches-and all that,
Are so queer?
And if should live to be-
The last leaf upon the tree
In the Spring!
Let them smile, as do now,
AT the old forsaken bough,
Where ! cling.
