LONG AGO.

LONG AGO.
Softly, softly falleth the rain,
And the pickering fire burns low.
Through the doorway comes spirit train,
Who sing TO me asweet refrain,
Which leads me gently back again,
By the mystic ties of its beautiful chain,
Till once more gather the golden grain,
That reaped, and then away had lain
Hopes harvest sOwn in the long ago;
And my heart is filed with dreary pain
For those bright days that are no more
For my fairy time Of long ago.
The glimmering rays which the sun then shed
Were brighter than now, 1t seems TO me,
For childhOod's dreams were not then dead,
And childhood's angels had not then fed;
NY path through life then only lead
Der WAYS where roses were thickly spread;
l made bright gaTlands for my head,
While wove life's web with golden thread;
And thus thought 'twOuld always be,
For from fate's book had not read
That these sweet dreams too soon would
fee,
Leaving memory alone to me.
All, those were days of Joy untold
When all the world seemed bright aud gay;
made all things in one beautiful mould,
The gift of hope, ere she grew old;
1 thought not then that shadows cold
Gould, perchance, my life entold,
Dimming all my youths pure gold,
Blighting the joys 1 thought TO hold.
Ali that has passed, but when hopes glad ray
The stone from off my breast hath rolled,
Peace has come, I'll softly say,
But never again youths fair, lost day.

BEAUTY.

That beauty is not, as fond men misdeem,
An outward show Of things, that only seem;
But that fair lamp, from whose celestial ray
That light proceeds which kindleth loves ire
Shall never be extipg uished nor decay. IT
But when the vital spirits do expire, -r.r
Unto her native pIsnet shall retire,
For it is heavenly born and cannot die,
Being a parcel Of the pHrest sky.
