Twas in the glorisus harvest months
Mist summers last farewell,
We parted meath the Old oak trees,
That stood within tse dell.
We rartosl in fearful grief,
-. You in manly sorrow,
Praying that-nnto each other
Calm might dawn the morrow.
Months have I'D since that last parting,
And thy names ne'er spoken;
But in fond memory's golden chain,
One bright link is broken /!
Aud in my beart--that happy heart,
That late hath learned to mourn,
Thy image claims iendiy pace,
And is in friendship warm.
