Oh. pleasant are the memories
OF childhood's forest home,
And Oft, enid the tolls Of life,
Like blessed drei.nls they come:
OF sunset hours when lay entranced,
Mid shadows cool and green,
Watching the winge, insects glance,
In summers golden sheen;
Their drowsy hum was a lullaby
To Natures quiet sleeping,
While DER the meadows dewy breast
The evening winds were creeping;
The ploughman's whistle heard afar,
To his humble home returning;
And family in the gathering shade
The firefiy's lamp was burning
Up in the old oaks pleasant shade,
Where mossy branches swing,
With gentle twitterings, soft and low,
Nesting with tluttering wing
Were summer birds, their tender notes
Like loves own fond caressing,
When mother folds her little flock,
With a whispered prayer and blessing
The cricket chirps from the hollow tree,
To the music Of the rill,
And plaintively echoes through the wood
The song of the whippoorwill
Tinged with the last faint light Of day,
A white cloud in the west
Floats in the azure sea above,
Like a ship on oceans breast.
The evening star beacon shines,
Al r. A
And the wind means through the distant Pines
Like the troubled oceans surge.
From lowly wales the rising mist
Curls up the hillside green,
And its summit, 'twixt the earth and sky,
Like fairy isle is seen.
Away in the depths Of ether shine
The stars, serenely bright
Gems in the glorious diadem,
Circling the brow Of night.
Our Father. If thy meaner works
Thus beautiful appear,
II such reveaings of thy love
Enkindle rapture here
IL TO our mortal sense thou dost
Thy treasures thus unfold;
When death read this earthly vail,
How shall our eyes behold.
Thy gory--when the spiri; scars
Beyond the starry zone,
And in thy presence folds her wing,
And bows before thy throne.

Mother, has the dove that nestled
Lovingly upon thy breast,
Folded up its little pinion,
And in dark ness gone TO restl
Nay, the grave is dark and dreary,
But the lost one is not there;
Hearst thou not its gentle whisper,
Floating on the ambient air.
Ii is near thee, gentle mother,
Near thee at the evening hour;
It's soft kiss is in the zephyr,
IL looks mp from every flower.
And when Nights dark shadows fleeing,
Low thou bendest thee In prayer,
And thy heart feels nearest heaven,
Then thy angel babe is there.
Maiden, has thy noble brother,
On whose manly form thine eye
Lov'd full oft in pride to linger,
On whose heart thou could'st rely,
Though oil other hearts deceived thee,
All proved hollow, earth grew dear;
Whose protection, ever DER thee,
. Hid thee from the cold worlds sneer,-
Has he left thee here to struggle,
All unaided on thy wsyl
Nav, he still can guide and guard thee,
Still thy faltering steps can stay;
Still when danger hovers Ger thee,
He than danger is more near,
When in grief thou'st none to pity,
He, the sainted, marks each tear.
Lover, is the light extinguished,
OF the gem that in thy heart
Hidden deeply, to thy being
All its sunshine could impartl
Look above. 'tis burning brighter
Than the very stars in heaven;
And to light thy dangerous pathway,
All its new-found giory's given.
With the sons Of earth commingling.
Thou the lov'd one mayst forget,
Bright eyes flashing, tresses waving,
May have power TO win thee yet;
But cen then that guardian spirit
on will whisper in thine ear,
And in silence, and at midnight,
Thou wilt know she hovers near.
Orphan, thou most sorely stricken
OF the mourners thronging earth,
Clouds half veil thy brightest sunshine,
Sadness mingies with thy mirth.
Yet, altho' that gentle bosom,
Which has pillowed on thy head,
Now is cold, thy mothers spirit
Cannot rest among the dead.
Still her watchful eye is DER thee,
Through the day, and still at night,
Hers the eve that guards thy slumber,
Making thy young dreams so bright.
o. the friends, the friends we've cherished
How we weep to see them die
All unthinking they're the angels
That will guide us to the sky!
