Nv Childhood's Home.


I'm far away from my loved land,
From scenes OF childhood's home, ..
From youthful joy and friends long tried;
In other lands l roam.
From winding banks and running streams,
Bedecked with beauties rare,
From meadows great and woodlands green,
Oft have l wandered there.
But now from home I'm far away,
Midst forms and faces strange
/ think of old, familiar friends,
Whom time can never change.
The sun shines bright, the grass grows green
Along the river strands;
The fields are rich, the flowers bloom,
All DER the prairie lands.
The trees and lawns around me stand,
All clothed with beauties rare;
The birds sing sweet on every bush,
And fragrance fills the air.
But these to me yet have no charm,
Their beauties long may last;
On memory 5 tide those youthful scenes
Are rushing thick and fast.
Youths joys are sweet, though mine are fed
With hope the mind inspired,
LIES holest joys pass DER in youth,
Young hearts with bliss are fired
There JOY to think on youthful scenes,
Beloved by good and true;
II brings to light what long has lain,
And life 5 young dreams renew
But o er my joys dark clouds have passed,
The chilling blast endured;
Blight Youthful morning now is gone,
And noon or eve comes sure.
