When I saw sweet Nelly Home
sY NARY FRANCES KYLE


In the sky the bright stars glittered,
On the grass the moonlight fell,
flushed the sounds Of daylight hustle,
Closed the "Pink-eyed pimpernell,"
Asa-down the moss.grown wood path
Where the cattle love to roam
From Aunt Pattie's quilting party
was seeing Nelly home.
Jetty ringlets softly Auttered,
Ger q brow as white az snow,
And her cheek the crimson sunset
Scarcely had warmer glow;
Mid her parted lips yer rilIion, Oh.
White teeth flashed like ocean foam;
All marked, with pulses throbbing,
While | saw sweet Nelly home.
When the Autumn tinged the greenwood,
Turning all its leaves to gold,
In the lawnby alders shaded
lmy love to Nelly told;
As we stood together gazing
On the star bespangled dome,
How blessed the August evening,
When l saw sweet Nelly home.
White hairs mingle with my tresses,
Burrows teal upon my brow,
But love smile cheers and blesses
Life's declining moments now;
Nation in the snowy 'kerchief,
Closer to my bosom come
Tell me does thou still remember
When saw sweet Nelly homei
