Win fanltiess rythn, and musicai rhyme
And broader sweep, and nssn surge nj ssa su0e
Htw the winters are drifting like flakes OF
Aud the summers like buds between,
And the ears in the sheaf--so they come anu
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and flow,
As IL glides In the shadow and sheen
There's A magical, Isle in the river of Time,
Where the softest of airs are playing;
There's a cloudless sky, and tropical eiiiie'
And a song as sweet IA vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are staying
And the name of this Isle is Long Ago.
And we hnry our treasures there
There are brows of beauty, and bosoins VI

There are heaps of dust-but we loved them
rnere arc trinkets, and tresses of hair.
~, ora ava fragments of song that nobody sings,
And n part of an infants prayer
There's a lutte unswept, and harp "i'io"'
strings,
There are broken vows and pieces of rings,
And the garments she used TO wear.
There are hands that are waved when the
fairy shore,
By the mirage is lifted in air,
And we sometimes hear thro the turbulent
roar,
Sweet voices heard in the days gone before,
When the wind down the river is far
oh remembered for aye be that blessed Isle,
All the day of life till night .s.,
when the evening comes with its beautiful
smile,
And our ewes are closing TO slumber awhile,
Nav that greenwood Of soul be in sight
