We pass by hamlet, by park, and hall,
And meadows where holiday festival

While the sun o'erhead shire, warm aud

And such is life through It's opening years.
Before the burden OF grief and tears;
Life when the birds 81 promise sing,
And happiness dwelIs with every thing
When the cloud that wells tie early morn
Is gone ere We scarce can say is BON.

Brave strokes are wanting; como pull away
That we be not lost With the close Of day.

And friends once with us are pa So d away,
