Let's Sit down and Talk Together.

Let's sit down aud talk together
Of the things of olden day,
When we. like lambkins, loosed from tener,
Gaily tripp'd along the way.
Time has touched US both with iightness,
Leaving flrrows here and there,
And tinging with peculiar brightness
Silvery threads among our hair.
Let's sit down and talk together;
Many years away have passed,
And fair and foul has been the weather,
Since we saw each other last.
Many whom we loved are living
In better world than this;
And some among us still are giving
Toll and thought for present bliss.
Let's sit down and talk together;
Though the flowers of youth are dead,
The ferns still grow among the heather,
And for US their fragrance shed,
Life has thousand blessings in it.
Even for the aged man;
And God has hid in every minute
Something we may wisely scan.
Let's sit down and talk together;
Boys we were-we now are men:
We meet awhile, but know not whether
We shall meet to talk again.
Parting time has cone; how feetly
Speed the moments, when their wings
Are fann'd by breathings issuing sweetiy
From tongue that never stings!
