| CAN NOT FORGET.


When remember something which rhad,
| But which is gone, and must do without,
| sometimes wonder how can be glad
Even in cowslip time when hedges sprout
| II makes me sigh to think OF it-but yet
Ny days will not be better days, should forget.
When remember something promised me,
But which never had nor can have now,
Because the promiser We no more see
In countries that accord with mortal vow;
When remember this, mourn-but yet
MY happier days are not the days when forget.

And smiling the little maid answered,
As knelt there o her feet;
4 hey must be little bit naughty.
they never would be 30 sweet.
UNDERToNEs.
Do you sing '-the swestest songs
Tell Of sorrows aud OF wrongs.
DO you love 7-perfect love
Only lives In realms above:
And the careless are the light
Light Of heart and light Of head
And We robe the bride In white,
And In white ye shToud the dead.
