AN ENGLISH RURAL CUSTOM.

n .lr
-5l cav -. ga1i
Long ago-a little girl.
Smooth of cheek and dark Of curl,
Like nay daughters, nearly
gathered for my bridal bed
Many a thorny thistle head
Before the flying were shed,
And saved them up so dearly.
o the happy days and dreams!
Endless Present--lit with CLEANS
OF . wondrous Future!
Day and week and month and year
Giide-and what know you, my dsar I?
And what know I? o little sphere
OF every mortal creature!
Life has pleasure, life has pain,
Passing, not to come again,
Blacklist hours and brightest.
Time takes all things all must 60;
Bygones vanish--is 1t so?
Gone and lost forever? Mol
Not the least the lightest.
In Age we laugh at dreams of Youth
Are Ages dreams more like the truth
And what Is life but feeling?
The world Is something, ,nonecan doubt,
But no one finds its secret out.
To childhood, and to souls devout,
Come the best revealing.
Gay at heart are you, my clild,
Gathering downy thistles wild;
Cares nor fears oppress thee;
Gathering up, for joy, for moan,
When all these Autumns, too, are flown,
The bed that you must lie upon,
God protect and bless theei
