MY LOVE OF LONG AGO.


The rose has faded on thy cheek.
And furrow'd Is thy brow; lspeak
Thy sparkling eyes, that seemed to
Are dull and heavy now.
The locks on thy beloved head,
That once were like to golden thread,
Arc white as winter snow:
Yet is my love for thee not dead,
My love of long ago.
/, too am old, but at thy voice
L burn with youthful fire;
Its music makes my heart rejoice,
And throb with fierce desire.
Its tones seem echoes OF the time
Whenwe were bothin life's glad prime,
Sweet sounds, though faint and low,
Like some far-distant wedding chime,
My love Of long ago.
