Mid tbs day~geaus that itnGcrinely die,
And tha calm hush OF dream-hsunted even,
Like peace-breathing Spirit, draws nigh,
Does thought at the absent one waleo

Comes yoarniug for hopes lang -parted4
And past whose young loye-dreau is o'er9
Though parted, though lost me-, bless thee;
Tor, wheu others ware promo to con:e1nn1
Then thou vert the list one to ccnsure,
The last one my faults to condemn.
Though the gloom Of the past pals the pEesant,
And shadows tie future afRr,
Yet. mid hfsts heart-wrecks and hope-wTccts,
Thou art still my OWL bright gui1ingstar.
Though out paths with each We. Of sun widen,
And daily we drifs further aps1t,
Yet melnory's still true TO The idol
That time ne'er can blot from tho heart:
Though others have sought to defame me,
Though they snile on the ruin that's nina,
Though thy weak woman's will they hare conquered
Still the love Of Lifetime IL thine.
