OUR CHILDHOOD.
BY GEORGE d. PRENTICE.

IT'S sad. yet sweet, to listen
To the soft winds gentle swell,
And think We hear the music
Our childhood loved so we'll;
To ga1e out on the even
And the boundless 6elds Of air,
And feel again our boyhood's wish
To roam Ike angels there.
There are many dreams of gladness
That cling around the past
And from the tomb Of feeling
Old thoughts come throngfng fast;
The forms We loved so dearly
In the happy days now gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon.
Those bright and gentle maidens
Who seemed 90 formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
Fer such a world as this;
Whose dark soft eyes seemed swimming
And whose locks ofgold were streaming
Ger brows SO sunny bright.
Whose smiles were like the sunshine
In the spring time of the year
Like the chapgeful CLEANS OF April,
They followed every tear
They have psssed-like hopes-away,
Aud their loneliness has fed;
Oh many heart is mourning
That they are with the dead!
Like the brightest buds Of summer,
They have fallen with the stem;
Yet, oh IL Is n lovely death
To fade from earth like them!
And yet the thought is saddening
To muse on such as they.
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing fast away! L#tk wy
That the fair ones whom we love
Grow to each loving breast
Like the tendril of the clinging vine,
Then perish where they rest.
And We can but think Of these, WE
In the soft and gentle spring,
When the trees are waving DER US,
And the flowers are blossoming; IL
And we know that winters coming,
With its cold and stormy sky,
And the glorious beauty round us
Is budding but to die!
