I'm DREAMING OF MY FRIENDS.

ihonyh years have rolled between,
Fond memory paints. in colors b,ight.
Each we'll remembered scene.
Of those that cheered my boyhood's days
> My esrliest and my best.
Some wander Far Eies devious ways.
And some are gone to rest.
Ny soul forgetts tonight the years
Whose weary rounds have passed
:sforgets the drcary nIis.s Of teare,
~ Theirsskies that toysreast.
Z, Iweep not now my burial grefs
, That lie in folded shrouds:
Fo SUMMER scenes my spirit lenps,
AS the rainbow spans the clouds.
The songs we snng-E hear ths,n yet.
Through my heart faint echoed e:er,
AS sea.LoIn shell can ne'cr forget
The song of ts native shore.
And the green it!de..lie before me now,
Where erst We careless played;
The riverside and hil.,ops brow
Where often time We etraycd.
All! s.. those days are gone-no more
They'll gladden. us again;
Whatever life may have in store
For Us, must find US men.
But, thrnks to Heaven there may bs iov
For rs.left ye,-we can
Renew the friendship Of the boy,
Still closer III the man.
