GRANDMOTHER GREY.

Grandmother Grey by the window sat,
And looked at the setting sun,
Aud watched the COWS as they slowly
| came
From the pasture one by one
And back again to the ''long ago" f
Her memory travelled fast,
While the dim eye closed as she lNed
again
Mid scenes of the happy past.
''Let me see" she murmured '.ah, yes,
know
1t was there by the pasture gate
That Robin, with milking-pale and stool,
For my coming use to wait.
1t was just week of our wedding day
That he fell so sick-and died;
And | laid my heart in the grave with
hm,
And loved none other beside.
"But, ah 1t was for my fathers sake
| That welded Farmer Grey,
And we've both been tender true and
kind.
As the years have slipped away.
But lwOndcr much when the hour comes
That my soul be called above,
Shall /, as the wife of Farmer Grey,
seek Robin, my only love -
Aud the sun went down i'll the golden
West.
And the COWS came safely home,
As Grandmother Grey b tue window sat
While her thoughts seems yet TO roam.
But the angel came for her waitin soul
While the twilight shadows fell,
And GRANDMOTHER Grey the farmers
wife,
With Robin has gone to dwell.
