Once more beneath the old pine trees,
And on the rivers side,
l listen to the murmuring breeze
And watch the flowing tide.
In childhOOd's years used TO love
To linger meath their shade
Lulled by the mystic music
That the winds among them made
Sometimes, like spirits whispering,
Twas strangely wild and sweet,
And, sometimes, like the surging waves
That on stern coast beat. u
The grand pine organ still rolls on
Its plaintive monotone,
But it seems to sigh in every note
One word-Alone, Alone d.
For long years have passed since was here'
Nor can tell YOU how
The worlds harsh hand, since then, has swept
The sunshine from my brow;
And the waves are dark and turbid
qhat once sparkled in the sun, .,C :,
While clapped my hands and laughed in gle
To see them ripping on.
The light step that trod the turf,
Is slow and tired to-day
The path of life is hard and rough
1t ialters on the way, o.
And the youthful dreams / cherished ihenJ
Oh, they were passing fair
But, fabric and foundation,
They were framed of empty air.
When watched at sunsets radiant hour
The brilliant clouds Of even,
thought saw the golden gates
That op, ned into Heaven ..
Bright angels seemed to beckon me,
Sweet spirits whispered, Come
Linger no more in that dark world,
But share our brighter homeF
With love and hope my heart was filled,
There seemed no brighter sphere;
But no,o, alas no angels cal u
They leave me sorrowing here.
With garlands bright decked my brow
In those gay, golden hours,
Though then / never felt the thorns
That lurked beneath the fowersj
Now the shadows darken round my path,
While storm clouds gather fast,
And hear the muttered thunder
That is borne upon the blast;
The old pine branches, Ger me now,
Are tossing in the gale,
And wildly shrieks the tempest,
Like some lost spirits wall;
But ! care not if its tercest wrath
Is spent upon my head,
If spirits only rest iR peace
When weary life has fed
