TIE DRUEKGRD's WIFE.
Weary and sad am sitting alone,
With dying babe and a cold hearth-stonei
And list 10 the sound Of the drifting snoWi
Oh! how unlike the long ago.
Those golden dreams have passed away,
That filled my heart on its marriage day
And the trembling tear-drop's silent how,
Are the tribute pearls Of long ago!
Oh! the hidden power of the sparkling wine,
Can Danish love from its holiest shrine,
And place in its stead a wreath Of woe,
Inthe faded hopes Of long ago!
The GROWING joy Of woman's life,
Is breathed in the blissful name Of wife;
And the deepest Pang that heart can know
ls the plighted love Of long agoI-EVA.
