THE SONGS OF OLD.

The songs of old How deep a spell
Lies in the old familiar years,
Once sung by those We loved SO well,
In other days, in happier words;
Visions of hope long passed away,
Come Ger the heart so lone and cold,
And Memory asks, oh, where are they
Who sweetly sung the songs OF old
Where are they2 Some in silence sleep
Beneath the mournful yew trees gloom;
Others within the boundless deep
Have early found an ocean tomb;
Dim are the eyes that gently shone,
TIE once warm heart lies still and cold,
And hushed for aye, forever gone,
The voice that sung the songs Of old.
Where are they? On some foreign strand
For many a weary day they roam;
Cherries they tread the strangers land, .
From friends afar, afar from home, +.
DO they not long to join once more
The joyous dance, the social throng,
And mingle, as in days of yore,
Their voices in the olden song?
Fondly the heart still loves to linger
Amid the ruins of the past,
Tracing, with fancy's fairy finger,
Visions too beautiful to last;
Bringing to memory's eye again
The long-lost friesds the cherished ones,
Waking the past with some sad strain,
Some well-remembered olden song
