A Reply.

Yes, those we're days whose priceless perfume
Still breathes from out the dust Of years,
When Life before two paths stood smiling
One way was joy, and one was-tears.
We loved as flowers spring to the light.
In those old days of artless truth.
And guessed not time could ever bring
lrreverence to the dreams of youth"
But life led on to broader fields
And, somehow, in the fateful whirl.
Wide branched the destinies apart
of happy boy and happy girl.
l know not what you may have missed,
And full Of peace my own days seem;
But the world has changed since you and
Picked cowshps by the meade 5 stream.
II might have been. The poet says
What might have been shall surely be.
And just beyond the hills of Faith
What may not wait for you and me ?
Once more, true friend, our hands may clasp
In Summer lands of coudless dawn,
When our Young days Of gathering flowers
Shall be a hundred years agone."
