10 There is an honest pathos and genuine
feeling in the following stanzas, which will touch
every heart -
Old Letters.
There's package of old letters in that little rose
wood box,
Which the key tied on this locked, worn upon
heart unlocks;
Will you go and get the package, and the letters
read to me
have tried to do it often, but, for tears, could
not see
You have brought them thank you darling--now
sit upon the bed
And lift gently to your bosom my poor throbbing
burning, head;
Read the blest words distinctly, that loose no,
even one;
Oh, the precious hand that penned them, its last
word for me is done
But if You shall ever see him, whom nevermo
shall see
Tell him that the sweetest solace his dear letters
were to me;
That never ceased to love him. never doubted
that he ioved
That my fnith in him was perfect and remained
through all unmoved.
And, Oh, tell him, when he came not, ms he prom
ised he would come,
If | could not chase out sorrow that my grief for
him dumb
That never yet reproached him, ne'er n word of
censure spoke;
That his memory must be gentle to the heart his
GOODNESS broke.
Tell him, through the years which followed when
no tidings from him came,
For his absence, nor his silence, was ever heard
to blame
Oh this wild desire to see him, God subdue with
in my breast
For it racks me into torture, al my soul hath
need oflest.
When I'm dead, and in my coffin and the shroud
about me wound.
And my narrow bed is ready, in the pleasant
church yard ground,
Lay the locket and the letters both together on
my heart,
And the little ring he gave me, never from my
finger part.
Now, lin ready, read the letters, the dear letter.
