TWENTY YEARS AGO.

I've wandered 10 the village, Tom I've sal
beneath The tree,
Upon the schu,lhouse play ground, which
sheltered yon and me;
But none were there to gree, me, Tom, and
few were Ieti 10 know,
That played with upon the green, some
twenty years ago.
The grass is just as green, Tom bare-fooled
boys AT play,
We're sporting just as we did then, with spir-
lis Just as gay;
But the "Nlasiei" sleeps upon the hill. which
coated DER with snow,
Afforded us sliding place, jus, twenty years
ago.
The old school house is altered some, the
benches are replaced,
By new ones very like the same our pen
knives had defaced.
But the same old bricks are in the wall the
bell swings to and fro,
Its music just the same, dear Tom, twas
twenty years ago.
The boys were playing some old game, be-
meath that same old tree;
| do forge, The name just now--youve play
ed the same with me,
On that same spot; twas played with knives.
by throwing so and so;
The leader had "a task 10 do--there, twenty
yeaIs ago.
The rivers running just as still; the willows
OIL It's side,
Are larger than they were, Tom; the stream
appears less wide
But the grapevine swing is ruined now,
where once we played the beau,
And swung our sweetharts "pretty girls"-
just twenty years ago.
The spring that bubbed meath the hill, close
by the spreading beech,
Is very iow-'twas once so high, that we
could hardly reach;
Aud kneellng down TO get drink, dear Tom
| started so.
To see how much that | am changed, since
twenty years ago!
Near by the spring, upon an elm, you know
cut your name,
Your sweelhart's jus, beneath it, Tom, and
you did mine the same:
Some hearlless wretch had pealed the bark,
twas dying sure but slow,
Just as that one, whose name you cut; died
twenty years ago.
My lids have long been dry Tom, but tears
come in my eyes;
thought of her loved SO well--those early
broken ties;
| visited the old church-yard, and took some
flowers 10 s,rew
Upon the graves of those we loved, some
twenty years ago.
Some are in the church yard laid--some
sleep beneath the sea,
But few are left of our old class, excepting
you and me;
And when our time shall come, Tom, and
we aIe called TO 90,
hope they'll lay US where we played some
twenty years ago.
