OLD MEMORIES.
Sing that sweet melody again,
heard it once in happier hours,
Il tails upon my weary brain
Like breath OF summer flowers.
1t brings before my pensive mind
The hallowed scenes OF other years,
When life was one long day ofloy,
BrIght-una:loycd with tears.
The blooming hawthorn scents The air,
The ark'S loud song ia in the sky,
Aud gathering sweets from balmy flowers,
The bee huns merry by.
Again hear my Mary's voice,
Her matchlcss form | see once more,
Again her witching glance of love
EuChants me as ofyo'e.
Her small white hand is clasped in mine,
Her fragrant breath is on my cheek,
.Wrapt in Il trance OF thrilling joy,
Our hearts too full to speak.
Oh, could such ccstacy but Last,
Such scenes of raTishing delight,
VINO would such happiness exchange
For other worlds, though bright!
The song is hushed, its echoes die,
Like fairy music in the air:
Out OF its rapture breathing spell
wake 10 g,icf and care.
