The young milkman and his girl stood

Have they told you ana going
To the land OF rest =
am very patient, knowing
All is for the best
Yet the Summer light is clearest
Ere the soul departs.
Nature seems to draw the nearest
Unto dying hearts.
Have they told you am leaving
Earthly things behlndf
Love, perhaps, was but deCelving.
Friendship proved unkInd;
Yet the sunshine, slowly stealing
Down the soft green slope,
Brings back all the trustful feeling,
All the dreams Of hope.
Have they told you am hastlng
To falrer home?
Yes; but here are roses wasting,
Blossoms white as foam;
Here are sun.gIlt vlne-leaves wIeathing
Round our cottage door;
Here are solemn hr-trees breathing
Fragrance evermo e.
Have they told you am setting
All my thoughts on hlgh2
Yes; but can learn forgetting
While old hauntJ are nlghI
When the bracken plumes are swsying
On our pine crown'd hill,
can almost hear you saying
That you love me still.
Hush hear fOotstep falling
On the garden plot,
And voice speaks, sefty calling,
Yet answer not
Till feel your arms around me,
On my face your breath.
Love and faith have sought and found me;
This is life-not death.
Good Words.

To him all Natures work were good;
The humblest, in his sight, sublime.
He slng for all, to all, of ALL
The lowly COZ, the lofty towers,
He sang of memories that recall
Youth, crown'd with wreaths Of rosy hours.
He sang of love- Its Laureate,
By heart-lts birth, Its lie, It's cure;
He sang Of friendship, consecrate
AS love, as worthy, true and pure.

A perfect flowers imperfect bloom;
