WHEN YOU WERE NELL-AND a BOY.

IT'S merry. merry Christmas. Nell.
And sweet's the echo Of her bell -s
lis half life since you aud fe E1
Together past our Christmas by:
When In that time so fair and bright
With hearts as free as they were light:
We gathered round the gloomy hearth.
And sang our songs Of glee and Mirth.
Nor owned . thought, save that Of Joy,
When you were Nell, and boy.
How little reck'd we then. dear Nell,
The tale our lives to-day might tell;
We never deem'd our castles bright
Would nedge their wings and take to flight,
Or that those hopes we kindled high
Were only born to dr0op and die.
That one by one their bloom would fade,
Till In the tomb they'd all be laid:
How Titles left time could destroy
Since you were Nell and boy.
When frst we launched in childish glee.
Hopes fairy bark on fancy's sea:
We little dreame how soon her masts
Would shiver in those cruel blasts
That sweep along that treacherous tide
Where ArgOsies Of hope must ride.
I've built mine up and spread her sail:
Not once-but oft-and had her fail.
So Oft in sooth it gins to cloy.
Since you were Nell. and boy.
You'd hardly recognize. trow.
Your laughing chnm Of long ago.
For in those years Of toll and strife:
That go 10 make wanderers life,
That brow which scarce = frown 'coald brook:
Has won and wears darker look.
And time that never yet did spare:
Has set his burning sign there.
And dimm'd it's hue with his alloy.
Since you were Nell. and o boy.
But thou art best. and that shall cheer
And shed II gladness round me here.
For though apart still must feel
A kindred JOY to know thy veal:
Still own for thee = brothers care
And watt my blessing tn thee there.
Recall again in dreams OF gold
That love we learn Il in days OF old.
When our young lives knew only joy
When you were Nell and boy.
lis merry. merry Christmas. Nell.
And blithe the music OF her bell
As when in days OF sweet Ianssyne
We w,rc . wreath for memory shrine:
That We, is blooming fresh and green.
As IL those years had never been.
Awak'u echoes son and low
OF that glad time so quick To go;
When life Was pure without alloy
When you were Nell. and boy
