BY GERTRUDE.


To-day, while thoughts of days of yorc
Were filling my mind in one sad strain
Methought heard the voice once more,
Speak to me as in B again.
You spoke to me in gentle tone,
Like to the calling of the wind,
When thro' the forrest dark and lone,
1t hsstens to the sunbcanls kind.
Your heart had learned to think of me,
As one to you forever dear,
Would return that love for thee,
And come to you, your life to cheer.
That sound, it vanished dying moan,
Thro' whisting winds hcaving sigh
As had said, I'm all thine own,
l felt that gentle soft good bye.
o, weary hours how long it seems
Since words from me, so fond, so true
Went floating out in written themes,
Yet not a line, q word from you.
And so the long days fled away
Back in my distant mountain home,
Until thought of thee to.Gay,
And of the time we last did roam.
Ana nccr before, oh, friend of mine.
A thought of thee had made me sad
Sweet memories and words OF thine
Were left, and 50 my heart was glad.
But now. alas, these thoughts do dwell
Upon the must be buried past,
For actions, more than words do tell,
And speaks, no hope for INC at last
And can feel the dread despair,
The bitterness of this neglect,
Since vastly changed the days nov are,
How much | wish that you'd reflect
And even as my hungry heart
Has closed upon those scenes Of vorc,
There comes a thought, twill make m,
start,
How can love another more
o, friend. amid gay scenes lie kind;
Let ore stray thol ght float out to me,
Though out OF sight, not out Of mind,
