A thought of home, how softly stole
y Toe feeling Ger my heart
While oil unsdden to mine eye,
The trembling tear would start;
A Thought OF home, amid that throng
OF spirits wild and gay,
Thrilled through my soul all fresh and warm,
Like blessings when pray. .-
A thought Of home--Ah | little knew
That gay and laughing throng,
wsAsrsng their voices light and FREQ
In that familiar song,
The memories it startled forth,
And liked before my sght;
~ Pure visions of departed hours,
%@S Iilunined with delight.
sAh,little thought they, weary miles
On fancy tireless wing,
Ny thoughts went out to meet the past,
As birds to meet the spring!
Like them as from an exile CLINE,
They speed their winged way,
$50 on msmory's pinions glide,
"a To scenes far far away.
- A thought Of home-that holy place
Where first a mothers care,
Restrained and guided mo in youth,
And taught the lipipg prayer;
And where o fond, paternal hand
81 Was laid upon my brow,
And loving words were told to mo
That thrill me evon now. 1H
That mothers breast, whsrcon lay
And wcpt my childish grief
How glad I'D seek that refuge new,
Assured Of sweet relief;
- But weary distance nterveaes,
And many hill and vale,
Whose echoes as call her name,

When other hopes decay.

and Incorporates it with. the wafer

moulds are then transferred to light
