THINKING OF THEE.
BY CECIL HOWE.

The sunset crimsons on the heights,
Flushing the cold snow with its kiss,
The crags are rich with yellow Light
am all lost in silent bliss,
Thinking of thee.
The red light pales along the range,
And glOoms to mournful violet,
The dying glow grows sad and strange
My eyes with some stray tears arc wet,
Thinking of thee.
Fall on her, tell her, dying glow,
How am dreaming of her here,
And kiss for me her snowy brow
Love, am weak with hope and fear,
Thinking of thee.
