A SONG OF OTHER DAYS,
bYO w. HOLMES.

by o. w. HOLMES.
As Fer the glaciers frozen sheet,
Breathes soft the Alpine rose,
So through life's desert springing sweet
The flower Of friendship grows,
And as where 'er the roses grow
Some rain or dew descends,
lis nature's law that wine should flow
To wet the lips offriends.
Then once again before we part
My empty glass shall ring;
And he that has the warmest heart
Shall loudest laugh and ring.
They say we were not born to eat,
But gray-haired sages think
1t means-be modest in your meat,
And partly live to drink:
For baser tribes the rivers flow
That know not wine or song ;
Man wants but little drink below,
But wants that little strong.
Then once again, &c,
If one bright drop is like the gem
That decks a monarch s crown,
One goblet holds diadem
OPrubies melted down!
A fig for Caesars blazing brow,
But, like the Egyptian queen,
Bid each dissolving jewel glow
My thirsty lips between.
Then once again, &c.
The Grecian's mound, the Roman = urn,
Are silent when we call,
Yet still the purple grapes return
To cluster on the wall
1t was bright mmortal's head
They circed with the vine,
And DER their best and bravest dead
They poured the dark red wine.
Then once again, &c.
Methinks Ger every sparkling glass
Young Eros waves his wings,
And echoes o'er it's dimpes pass
From dead Anacreon s strings;
And tossing round its beaded brim
Their locks OF floating gold,
With bacchant dance and choral HYMN
Return the nymphs Of old.
Then once again, &c.
A welcome then to JOY and mirth,
From hearts as fresh as ours,
TO scatter DER the dust of earth
Their sweetly mingled flowers
IT'S Wisdom's self the cup that fills,
In spite Of Folly rs frown,
And Nature, from her vine-clad hills,
That rains her life blood down!
Then once again, &c
