MEMORIES OF YOUTH.
BIT HENRY K. ORR

BY HENRY z. ORR.
The memories Of my by gone youth,
How happy and how gay;
When miTth, and Innocence, and truth,
Sprang budding In my way,
when birds sang sweeter songs than now,
And flowers were far more fair,
When smiles were wreathing every brow,
In moe kerry Of care.
The brooklets rang with music then,
With songs that seem to bless;
And ev'ry hill, and dale, and glen,
Was cloth'd in loveliness.
The heart, enchanted, would not roVe
From scenes 30 purely bright
But trilled, like night birds in the grove,
A tune OF son delight.
How chang'd Is now the fairy view,
by boyhood loved In vain
The sweet decisions fancy drew
Are blurred by toll and pain
The bow Of Hope, that spann' d my sky,
Has faded from the sight,
The changes taught that youth Is nigh
To sorrow-day to night!
All, well: such changes grave on Life,
A lesson sad, but wise;
They bid the soul, from Hercest strife,
In majesty arise.
They bid her seek the trodden WAYS,
And brave the orm-cloud's frown,
To win the victor's glorious bays
or else the martyrs crown.
