SUMMER AND N +


The days we spent together;
Come backthrough memory's golden haze,
On cloudless summer weather,
!, Ihst I may deem T've saved at least
6omA fragments from life's scattered feast.
And through the hay;
. Zach hour was like so'ne glorious dream
From Paradise astray.
The scent OF roses on the air
Seemed part OF life which was sofair.
W. ro,,,oa u;an ,h;.L

An, ah!tnis world seemed very good,
with all its memories.

FAsthroush the boughs that Summer night.
