How of in fancy's hour stray &c.,

And sigh for those bright an1 happy days
That were all too fair 10 last.
Again am sporting DER the mead,
With those dear playmates Of my youth;
hear their echoing voices still,
In joyous tones Of love and truth.
Again I roam the shady dell
In search Of some fair favorite R,wer;
Meihinks the:r hue hath faded since
Icpl,cd them in that laughing hour.
thought not then that friends could change
Nor sighed that youthful ties must sever.
But thought If life as q fairy dream,
That would Ave and last forever.
But I've learned that youths fond hopes dis

And friendly ties that bound ~ once,
Like morning zephyrs pass away.
Our early friends have changed since then,
Yet still distinct their image seems
Some dwell in other lands af.s.
And We ne'er behold them save in dreams.
Others have passed the steam If Death,
While the smile ofyoulh was on their brow
And the light Of world TO Us unknown
