From the Cottage Gardener.
YESTERDAY.
wv, through by-gone years,
BY CHARLES WILTON.

see it now, through by-gone years,
Asplainly as yore
Though grief and age have worn life's page,
And stained its traces DER.
That fair home of boy hoods time,
When the world was pure and gay,
Comes sweeping back DER memory!s track,
As fresh as yesterday.
/ see again the wel!-known scene
tread the path anew
Where lily, rose, and eglantine,
Commingling fragrance threw;
You cannot say I'm weak and old,
Or that my locks are gray
Pm hale and young-I stand among
The scenes Of yesterday
Thou reverend, old, and hallowed oak,
hail thee once again
The stately wave thy branches gave
Is solemn now as then,
henunderneath thy charmed shade
unused the hours away,
Nor thought too bright the dreams made,
In sunny yesterday
housekeeping vine, that lov'st to Irvine
Around the cottage door,
And weave thy slender, netty arms
My chamber lattice DER
Pve clapped my little hand for Slee,
And thought no vine SO gay
As the vine tina, clustered fruits for me
In childhood's yesterday,
Ye tinted flowers of varied hue,
That fringe the walks along
Ye modest plants that hide from view
Amidst thy blooming throng-
Pm bounding down your garden slope
With my long forgot 'Hurra ?
Pm shouting loud the song Of Hope
You taught me yesterday
Alas alas that boyish song,
For me, is hushed and still;
The blood that danced so light and long
Creeps slowly now and chill;
My sight grows dim-my limbs grow old
'fhe vision fades away
Though bright it seem, 'tis but the dream
OF by-gone Yesterday
