4 left thee young and gay, Mary,
When last the thorn was white;
Iwent upon my way, Mary,
And all the world seemed bright;
For though my love had ne'er been told,
Yet, yet saw thy form
Beside me in the midnight watch,
Above me in the storm. Elk
And many blissful dream | had,
That brought thy gentle smile
Just as it came when last we leaned
Upon the Church-yard Stile.
I'm here to seek thee now, Mary, ..
AS all i love the best;
To fondly tell thee how, Mary,
Eve hid thee in my breast;
came to yield thee up my heart,
q, With hope, and truth, and joy,
And crown with Manhood's honest faith
The feelings of the boy.
/ breathed thy name, but every pulse
Grew still and cold the while,
For was told thou vert asleep,
Just by the Church-yard Stile.
MY n1essmates deemed me brave, Mary,
Upon the sinking ship;
But flowers above thy grave, Mary,
Have power to blanch my lip.
felt no throb of quailing fear
Amid the wrecking surf,
But pale and weak | tremble here,
Upon the osiered turf.
came tomeet thy happy face,
And WOO thy gleesome smile,
And only find thy resting place
Close by tho Church-yard Stile.
Oh! years may pass away, Mary,
And Sorrow lose its sting;
For Time is kind they say, Mary,
And flies with healing wing;
The world may make me old and wise,
And hope may have new birth,
And other joys and other ties,
May link me TO the earth;
But Memory, living to the last,
Shall treasure up thy smile,
That called me back to find thy grave
Close to the Church-ya ard Stile.
