TWENTY YEARS AGO.

Ny pen would fail to paint the scene
That's traced In memory,
The landscape of my first found Dreams
The sunlight on lite's sea
The meek May blossoms blue and mild,
That lent ethereal glow,
To bless lile's garden undefiled,
Some twenty years ago.
Ah twenty years, how swift they sped,
With all their freight of tears
looked on them when far ahead,
AS happy, hopeful years.
No blight o'crclouded my young sky,
Nor did one rude wind blow,
As, gayly laughing, you aud
Roamed twenty years ego.
The future then was iraught with bliss,
Into each mesh was wove
Bright buds of earthly promises,
To bloom in fe Ids Of love.
But all those buds, so fresh aud fair,
Were never made to blow,
And all our promises were air,
Some twenty years ago.
All-all is changed, save you and l,
And we may sometimes wear
The clouded brow, or breat the a sigh,
While tel-tale lines of care
Steal DER the cheek, where laughter lent
Its bright aud sunny glow;
But, oh! the heart beats as twas wont,
Some twenty years age
Though Time may leave his mildew blot,
And tarnish all we loved
Those hours will never be forgot
Those scenes where FIRST we roved,
Each hour, each scene hath still beam;
To cheer us as we 60, ,,t..s
And we may bless the sweet, bright dream
or twenty years ago!
