THE DIAI OLD WOODS.
BY AMANDA n. DOUGLASS.

~
O, the dim old woods, the painless woods,
Where the sunlight seldom CLEANS,
And the blue sky never is shadowed in
The hidden, dusky streams;
Where the solemn tone Of the wintry wind
Rings grand cathedral chime
Through the depths of the leafess trees,
Gemmed by the sparkling rime;
Or, moaning like the restless sea,
With its ceaseless ebb and flow,
1t ever holds thought for me
Of the days of long ago.
Imind me of the one who left
The freside and home,
When the spring-tide sun was shining bright,
In the forest depths to roam.
But when the breath of leaves and flowers,
The light of summers smile,
Had passed away, his rustling step
Fell never there the while
But the starry frost-work, bright and cold,
Cleaned on the sleeper's bed
For the dim old woods, the painless woods,
Held then our cherished dead
