the Indiana financier's discomfort, he

Since then Senator Jones has been q

To have had such a man defeated for

OF course, we differ with Senator

none the less appreciate his fine intel.

Nevermore III stroke the tresses of her gold.browr
hair so soft:
Nevermore within the evening shall we sit and
watch the stars,
Peeplng outward from the heavens through the gray
and cloudy bars;
OF the spring,
Nevermore wen hear the glad notes that the wild
birds sweety sing;
Nevermore we'll gather flowers by the laughing
forest stream
Hear the whispering of the leaflets like some half.

Nevermore I'll whisper fondly ~ love but your

Nevermore her smiling eyes will my swift coming
gladly greet;
Nevermore we'll sit together as the moonlight plays
above
Sit together in the moonlight, weaving webs of
endless love;
Nevermore can be joyful while tread this empty
earth,
Nevermore can my eyes sparkle with the faintest
show of mirth;
Nevermore shall heart find that can match the
other heart,
Ah my soul is sick and weary, and it ever longs
to start
From this life OF sin and shadow to the blissful life
above,
Where amidst the songs OF rapture will find my
lorg lost heart,
And through all the years eternal hold it nerermole
to part
