When age has cast its shadows
Der lif.,s declining way,
And the evening twilight gathers
Round our departing day,
Then we shall sit and ponder
On the dim and shadowy past.
Within the hearts still chambers
The guests will gather fast
The friends III youth We cherished
Shall come to us once more,
Again to hold communion
As iii the days Of yore.
They may be stern and soiabre;
They may be bright and fair:
But the heart will have its chambers;
The guests will gather there.
How shall it be, my sisters?
Who, then shall be onr gGestss
How shall it be, my brothers,
When life's shadow on US rests2
Shall We not, midst the silence,
In accents soft and low,
Then hear familiar voices
And words of long agos
Shall we not see dear faces,
Sweet smiling as Of old,
Till the mists Of that still chamber
Are sunset clouds Of gold,
When age has cast its shadows
Der life's declining way,
And the evening twilight gathers
Round our departing day?
