INCOMPLETE.

There's song that never could sing,
Though its notes in my memory ring,
Aud its measures are full of the sweets OF the years
OF voice of children and la ghter and tears,
And the whr OF the summer birds wing.
There's picture never could paint,
Sweet and fair as some aureOled saint;
Like dawn on the ocean where no eye can see,
In wild, fitfu splendor it burneth for me,
And l mourn as its colors grow faint.
There's dream-ah | never can tell
What my own bosom loveth so well
Yet how sweetly it comes in the depth of the night
Like a message it comes, like message of light
From the land where the sua children dwell.
For gather the thought and the tone
From the wreck of bright hours that are flown,
And hold to my heart, in my foolish despair,
trifle-a nothing much lighter than air
Lifeess leaves of love have known.

LONDON BRIDGE.


Proud and lowly, beggar and lord,
Over the bridge they go
Rags and velvet, fetter and sword,
Poverty, pomp and woe.
Laughing, weeping, hnrrying ever,
Hour by hour they crowd along,
While, below, the mighty river
Sings them all hooking song
Hurry along, sorrow and song,
All the vanity meath the sun;
Velvet and rags, so the world wags,
Until the river no more shall run.
Dainty, painted powdered and gay,
Rolleth my lady by;
Rags-and-tatters over the way
Carries heart as high
Flowers and dreams from country meadows,
Dust and din through city skies,
Old men creeping with their shadows,
Children with their sunny eyes
Hurry along sorrow and song,
All is vanity meath the sun;
Velvet and rags. SO the world ways,
Until the river no more shall run.
Storm and sunshine, peace and strife,
Over the bridge they go;
Floating on in the tide of life,
Whittier no man shall know.
Who will miss them there tomorrow,
Waits that drift to the shade or SUM-
Gone away with their songs of sorrow;
Only the river still flows on.
Hurry along, sorrow and Gong,
All is vanity meath the sun;
Velvet and rags, so the world wags,
Until the river no more shall run.
