I'll not repine Cor childhood's days,
It's sunshine and its flowers;
Although disease with wanton hands
Hath shattered all my powers.
Il will not join in mourning time
Forever past away
For while l gaze on natures face,
/ am thankful for to-day.
The trees are still as fresh and green,
AS e'er to me they were
And still as through my window seen,
They wave their arms in air.
The broezes sing their self same song,
That they nave sung for aye
Whose burden as they watt along,
Is God is here to-day.
There's not a bird upon the bough,
Or leaf upon the tree,
Bot in the summers twilight now
Ii swoetly sings to me.
The bleakest wind that winter blows,
Can sorrow chase away,
And shower blessings in the SHOWS,
That hide the earth to-day.
And every where a thousand gifts,
Invite us to rejoice
To grieve rs no more the days Of yore,
But raise n thankful voice.
They tell us though the world were fair,
In years removed for aye;
The earth. and sky, and sea, and air,
As lovely are today.
Then tell menot that health and strengt
Alone are fraught with joy;
Or that l am not as happy now
Az when a bounding boy.
