A Christmas Remembrance.
Dost thou remember, Eveline,

Dost thou remember, Eveline,
The Christmas long ago,
When wintry minds blew loud and cold,
The ground was white with snow;
A happy throng were cluster'd round
The fire-lighted hearth,
The tale of merriment was heard,
The song of careless mirth.
Twas there | met thee, Eveline,
So young, and gay, and fair,
With holly berries twined amid
Thy curls of golden hair;
The genius of the Christmas time
Didst thou appear to me,
And in that merry evening hour
gave my heart to thee.
led thee to the festive dance;
Thy touch my bosom thrill'd,
The glances of thy dark blue eyes
My heart with rapture ill'd;
| mark d the blush upon thy cheek,
heard thy faltering tone,
And on that happy Christmas night
| won thee for mine own.
Again It's Christmas, Eveline,
And we are happy now,
Although perchance youths earlier fire
Has left each thoughtful brow;
But thou hast soothed my many cares,
And cheerd the path of life;
bless the bygone Christmas night
When first met my wife. A. F. w.
