THE VOICE OF THE sPIRITs.
cusrsTMAs EVE.


f .
The following exquisit stanza Ia from poem
entitled :" The Old Mans Christmas Eve" by
Monia, author Of the Conquered Banners"
You think Of the dead on Christmas eve
Wherever the dead are sleeping,
And we from land where emay not grieve,
Look tcnderly down on you weeping.
You think us far; we are very near
To you and the EARTH tho parted.
We sing to night to console and cheer
The hearts Of the broken-hearted:
The earth watches over the lifeless clay
OF each of its countless sleepers,
And the sltepless spirits that passed away
Watch over all earth's weepers.
We shall meet again in a brighter land,
Where farewell Is never spokeni
We shall clasp each other hand In hand,
And the clasp shall not be broken.
We shall meet again In a bright calm cline,
Where we'll never know a sadness
And our lives shall be filled like Christmas
With rapture and with gladness. tchime
The SHOWS shall pass from our graves away,
And you from the earth. remember;
And the flowers Of bright, eternal May,
Shall follow earth's December.
When you think Of us, think not Of the tomb
When you laid us down in sorrow;
But look aloft and beyond life's gloom
And walt for the great Tomorrow.
