The old Mans Thoughts.


I'm wandering back, dear Alice, back to the happy
day,
When youth beat in our pulse, and we wero glad
and gay
Back to the sunny evening, when from the little cot
We strayed away, and gather'd still the sweet
- "forget-mc-not."
Adown the slope we wandered-doWn to the rivers
side
And listened to the murmur of the gently fowlng
tide
While Ger the distant mountain the sunlight died
away,
And lit with crimson bushes the softly dying day.
I know not what, sweet Alice, what made me
grow so bold,
But almost ere knew it my burning love was
told;
And to my trembling bosom I press'd lovely
form,
And with my own heart beating felt hers beat
soft and warm.
And you remember, Alice, tho bridal eve serene,
When in tho little parlor the waiting guests were
seen;
Two hands we're joined together, two hearts dis
solved in one,
And we began life's journey in joyous unison.
IT'S many year, dear Alice, 'tis many year
ago, ,...,L
And the hs,d then black and glossy is white with
ages snow:
But the hand of time, my Alice, the true heart
cannot chilli
And the Lore of youthful manhood is burning
brightly still.
For when the storm-cloud lowcrd, and darken'd
