My childhood's hsms-thou cherished spot |!
Bright goal Of hope and sacred thought:
Where ever since lifs's earliest day,
Ny fondest wish has been to stay
Again beside that glorious stream, =
Oft pictured in fond fancy's dream,
Or listening with attentive ear,
To mark the struggling rapids near;
Till memory seemed to bring again
The ripping waters murmuring strain;
greet again thy woodland bowers,
Where oft l pass d youths happy hours.
hear the warbling notes Of song,
That pour from forests myriad threng;
The saplings which left are grown,
Al far and wide their shade is thrown.
But one lone tree seek in vain,
An aged oak, where from the rain
I've sheltered oft, or meath whose shade
From noontids heat, my feet have strayed.
Oh, many an hour Of careless glee,
Those spreading branches gave to me;
And many times the stranger sought
A shelter. from life's noon Of thought.
I've hied in fancy to the scene
OF childhood, meath that leafy sheen
Oh sweeter Tar than angel note,
Laid on the wild winds wing to float;
Than fairy Lutte, or song Of bird,
Come o'er my soul the sounds then heard,
Remembrsnces of early days,
All hallowed by life's after years.
