Tine Old Couple.

II stands in q sunny meadow,
The house 30 mossy and brown,
With its cumbrous old stone chimneys,
And the gray roof sloping down.
The trees fold their green arms around it,
The trees, a century old;
And the winds go chanting through them,
And the sunbeams drop their gold.
The cowslips spring in the marshes,
And the rose bloom on the hill,
And beside the brook in the pastures
The herds go feeding at will
The children have gone and left them,
They sit in the sun alone;
And the old wife's ears are failing,
And she harks to the well-known tone.
That won her heart in her girlhood,
That has soothed her In many care,
And praises her now for the brightness
Her old face used TO wear.
She thinks again of her bridal
How, dressed in her robe Of white,
She stood by her gay young lover,
In the mornings rosy light.
Oh tho morning is rosy as ever,
But the rose from her cheek Is fed,
And the sunshine still is golden;
But it falls on q silvered head.
And the girlhood dreams once vanished,
Come back in her winter time,
Till her feeble pulses tremble
With their thrill offspring times prime.
And looking forth from the window,
She thinks how the trees have grown,
Since clad in her bridal Whiteness,
She crossed the odd doOr-stoDp
Though dimmed her eyes bright azure,
And diElmed her hairs young gold,
The love in her girlhood plighted
Has never grown dim or old.
They sat in peace in the sunshine,
Till the day was almost done,
And then, at its close, an angel
Stole over the threshold stone.
He folded their hands together
He touched their eyelid5 wish bllm,
And their last breath floated upward,
Like the close of a solemn psalm.
Like a bridal pair they traversed
The unseen, mystical road,
That leads to the beautiful city,
Whose builder and maker is God.
Perhaps in that miracle country
They will give her lost youth back,
And the flowers of vanished spring-time
Will bloom in the spirits track.
One draught from the living waters
Shall call back his manhood's prime,
And eternity years shall measure
The love that oltlved time.
But the shares that they left behind them,
The wrinkles and silver hair,
Made holy to us by the kisses
The angel had printed there.
We will hide away meath the willows,
When the day is low in the west,
Where the sunbeams cannot find them,
Nor the winds disturb their rest
And well suffer no tell-tale tombstone,
With its age and date to rise
Der the two who arc old no longer,
In the Fathers House in the Skies
