Bend down thy touch to meet,
The clover blossoms in the grass
Rise up okiss thy feet

So'emnly sang the village choir
On that sweet Sabbath morn.
Through the closed blinds the golden sun
Poured in dusty beam,
Like the celestial ladder
OF the ancient pairiarch's dream.
And ever and anon, the wind,
Svee'-scened with the hny,
Turned Ger the hymn books hu.terine

But it seemed not so TO me.
For he spoke Of Ruth the beautiful,
And still thought Of thee.
Long was the prayer he uttered,
But it seemed not go to ne.
For in my heart prayed with hin,
Bat still thougought of thee.
But now alas! the place seems changed:
Thou art no longer here;

With .hee did disappear.
Though thoughts deep rooted in my hear.
Like pine Trees dark and high.
