THOUGHTS.

Ali little we think whose homes are cheered,
With the tones and smiles of gladness,
OF the aching hearts that are gathered round,
Some freside dimmed by sadness.
Of the vacant chair-the laughter hushed,
And the shrouded form which never
May answer back the warm embrace,
Wooed by loves fond endeavor.
OF the once-loved face whose beauty now
Meath the cofin-lid's reposing,
While the soul looks down from the golden
gates
Which the Angels are enclosing.
There's not q breeze but could it speak
Would breathe some tale of sorrow
Perchance the wind that sweeps OUR path
May wait OUR sights tomorrow.
