Ee EVE e VI EsssANCHi.
Ely EoEEPT M'INTYRE,

How love to hear the music
OF the village old church bell,
Aud listen TO the tolling
OF the tones | know so well;
And to sit within The churchyard,
Upon some silent tomb,
And think Of those beneath me,
At rest iu Ealth's dark womb.
How ! love to rest when weary,
Beside the murm'ling brook,
Or stretch me in the corner
isome quiet, shady nook;
And think upon the absent
On those loved so dear
And in silence to their memory
Drop sore laden tear.
o, / love, love the children
That sport upon the green;
For well do remember,
The happy days I've seen;
When but a chubby wchin,
Without thought or care,
spolted in the same dear spo;,
With playmates bright and fair.
But my friends have separated,
Some lifc's weary path now tread;
And others, many years ago,
lave numbered with the dead.
And find myself quite lonely,
Near the old church and its bell,
But listen to the music
OF the sounds love so well.
