TO MY BROTHER.

Come With me, dearest, to the rivers side,
Where the bright foods make music as they
And while we wander by It's sparkling tide,
sweet memories will rise Of long ago,
And thoughts, that childhood babe these waters
keep,
Flash forth once more from their enchanted sleep
Look where Il flows, unchanged, Interchangeable,
roaming DER rocks and rippling to the sun
The shy trout plays among the eddies stiIl,
here dense and dark the restless currents run
now strange 10 know that thrice three years have
past,
Since we two wandered by Its margin last,
Yet change is here; when we were wont to stray
From morn till eve these woody hanks among,
Thick hung the hawthorn blossoms from the
spray,
And buds Of spring in every thicket sung;
And like a shower Of gold the bonny broom
Flung to the amorous gale her buds Of rich per-
fume
NOW autumn looks DER fields Of ripen corn,
And sere leaves rustic where our footsteps fall,
Few and unfrequent now the notes are borne,
ihat made these solitudes so musical
And so IL Is with us, for life no more,
Though happy still Is spring time as Of yors.
Ay, we are changed upon thy noble brow
Dwells the deep musing meet for manhotd's
Thy ser Is nrmer and thy rich locks now
Are somewhat darken'd by the touch Of time
And graver cares are round thy spirit twipet
Than in these shades thy childhood left behind
Yet, though time sports with outward forms at
will,
In deeper things his breath has scarce been felt,
And the long lapse Of years doth find US still
Before the shrtnes at which Oh lid hood knelt;
And what In those young days we wont to prize
Are still the same, the dearest In our eyes
shll, as Of yore, it's thy delight to bend
Where some bold river ihunders on It's course
Where catarac 5 in whiten' d showers descend
Deafsntng the air with clamor loud and hos rse
Thou lowest 10 ply the anglers silent art,
Aloe with nature, and thy own deep heart
Thou hast gone forth to mingle with the world,
And breath'd the air Of MANY a foreign cline;
But from thy spirit never has been hurl'd
The warm, fresh feeling Of that early time;
And behold the glory Of thy youth,
Blest with an honest heart Of kindness and truth.
For we, though years have borne upon thy flight
A thousand Joys my childhood could not dream,
My soul has ever found It's chief delight
BY lonely mountain glen, or gushing stream
And life can yield no pleasure and no pride
Bearer than this, to wander by thy side
And should we hither stray, when young &c
nance
Has faded In The worlds ungenial air.
And the soft LIS htning Of the eagle glance
In those dark eyes, be seen but family there
Oh may we And in natures beauty still
A JOY all shadowless, charm for every i'll.
