DAISY LEE.
BY MEMO.

1t is evening, and the shadows
Gloomy fall o'er earth and sea,
Fall upon the lowly cottage,
Where lies dying Daisy Lee.
Darling Daisy, bright-eyed Daisy,
Pale and quiet now she lies,
While the shades of death are falling,
O'er her gentle, bonny eyes.
Deaths dark shadows creeping slowly,
O'er our darling's fair young face,
Tell us soon beside our hearth-stone,
There will be vacant place.
Ger her couch doting mother,
Bends and means in anguish wild,
"God in mercy hear our prayer,
Spare our darling only child"
"Death o why thus take our darling!
We cannot, cannot let her go!
Leave, o leave our meek-eyed Daisy,
Or our hearts will break with VICE."
"Father, spare her to us longer,
She is our all, our only one,
And we cannot yet, our Father,
Learn to say 'Thy will be done
But alas! our prayers not answered,
And our hearts must bleed anew,
"Then o when you take our Daisy,
Death, o Death, come take us too
Hush, it's over, all is over,
And her spirit now is free,
While we watch in voiceless sorrow,
All that's left of Daisy Lee.
