Marks how long the minutes linger--
And the embers, dimly burning,

With q quiet, mournful sound
With a murmur soft and low,
Come the Ghosts of Long Ago.

Voices that are heard no more, i.
Tears that loving cheeks have wet,
Words, whose music fingers vet
Holy faces pale and fair,
Shadowy locks Of waving hair
Happy sighs and whispers dear,
Songs forgotten many year ..-
Lips of dewy frngrance--eyes
Brighter, bluer than the skies
Odors brcathed from Paradise.
And the gentle shadows glide
Softly m4rmuring Mt my side,
