My Fancy-Land.

I'm roaming to-day in far-away land
Where the roses and violets grow,
Where the white waves break on silvery
strand,
And are lost on the cliffs below,
High up in palace of sparkling gold,
Where voices are hushed and still,
Where lips are silent and hearts are cold,
And the days are rich with glory untold,
And no one disputes my will
The walls are rich with an amber light,
And water in fountains fall;
There are landscapes which SAVIOR of Italy
bright,
And servants within my call;
There's sound of music bewitchingly
sweet,
With touching plaintive chords,
AS the patter of tiny, innocent feet
And the voices of Joy when the loved ones
And their hearts grow into their words
All day from my ferret I watch the sails
That tleck the sweep of the tide,
l see faces IA liant, bow with the gale,
AS into the harbor they ride.
They enter my golden castle gate,
They roam through my stately halls,
They rest in chambers furnished in state,
Then close by my Glory throne they wait
Until | shall attend their call.
There are faces bright with a merry light
And the music of long ago,
And others dark as Lethe's night,
And cold as the winters snow.
Hands that meetmine in a trusting clasp,
With bushes that come and go,
Strangers to path in this world SO vast,
With its pleasure now, and sorrow at last
In the land we do not know.
They're bound for this mystical, magical
land
Beyond the mountains dim,
And my castle is a port on the ocean sand,
Where they wait for the grim,
To row them across to the silver beach
Beyond the foam of the tide,
Where a palace looms far from my reach,
Whose gates are closed with a clang to each
Who have chosen pathway wide.
They tell me I'm treading with careless
feet,
This thorny deceitful path,
When the Master cometh my face to greet
He will open his walls of wrath.
But turn from the thought to the world
so real,
And my :" Fancy Land" grows dim,
Times hand has taught me not to feel
The wounds which sympathy cannot heal,
And my faith is wrecked in Him.
Cameron Park, Aug. 31st, 1870.
