Gemple Of Gbe Musss,
aUaitipg fer fer Iotsf.
Every eve when Pm returning
From the labors of the dav,

WaItipg fer Ief lctsf.
Every eve when Pm returning
From the labors of the day,
As I pass lonely cottage
That is falling to decay,
I behold patient woman
Through the little window pane.
Looking with an air expeetans
Down the narrow grassy lane.
White as snow her scantv tresses,
Wrinkles on her thoughtful brow,
And her checks are furrowed deeply
With the linestha Time can plow.
Seventy winters long and dreary
From their heavy clouds lave shed
Flakes Of never-ehanging whiteness
On the patient woman's head.
Fifty years ago her lover
Stood beside her in the lane,
Saying as they parted. -"Hannah,
Sunday night I'll come again.
Let me sec you aithe window
As l hasten up the lane
God be with you, dear. Remember.
Sunday night I'll come again."
But before that precious evening.
Sweeter to that maiden's mind
Than bed of early vi'le,s
Kissed by ih' gentle April wind,--
Came to bless her with its presence,
Longingly for which she sighed.
He, the most beloved lover
That e'er blessed a maiden--died.
Well-a-day for loving Hannah l.
When they told her he was dead.
Her devoted mind forever
From its shattered mansion fed.
Gentle az an April sunbeam.
Patient as mothers love.
Hcpeful as the earliest christian
Who bath moored bis hopes above.
She through all these fifty winters
Hath believed herself again
Loved and loving as of old time
When they parted in the lane.
Every day to her is Sunday.
And behind the window pane
Every eve she sits and watches
For her lover down the lane.
