Years Of sorrow, grief and pain

In this dreary world OF care,
For her soul dwells far above us
In yOn starry heaven there.

That were once so rosy red,
But she dwells here no more with us,
For she's numbered with the dead.

Down within the cold damp ground,
That she there may sweetly slumber
Till the angels trump shall sound.

THE NEW LOVE AND THE OLD.

There, speak in whispers; fold me to thy heart,
Dear love, for have roamed weary, weary way /;
Bid my vague terrors with thy kiss DEPART
Oh, Ihave been among the dead to-day,
And, like pilgrim to some martyrs shrine,
Awed with the memories that crowd my brain,
Fearing my voice, the charm Of thine;
Tel me thou Invest, lowest, Jet again.
Not among graves, but letters old aud dim,
yellow and precious, have touched the past.
Reverent and prayerful as we chant the hymn
Among the aises where saints their shadows cast
Reading dear names ON faded leaves that here
Were worn with fodings tFsnulous and fond,
These drowned in FLASHING Of tender tear,
Or with deaths tremble pointing ''the beyond"
And, love, there came hutter of white wings,
stir Of snowy robes from out the deep
or utter silence, as l read the things
smiled to trace before learned to weep
And hands. whose clasp magic long ago,
Came soft before me, I'LL yearned to press
Mad kisses on their whiteness then the woe
The sting OF death, the child OF nothingness
One afar where golden sands made dim
The shining steps OF the poor trickster Time;
And one was lost, All bitter grief for him
Who wrecked his manhood in the depths Of crimeI
Another, beautiful as mornings beam
Flushing the Orient, lay meskly down
Among the daises, dreaming loves glad dream;
And one sweet saint wears a starry crown.
And thus there stole delicious odors still
From out these relics Of the charmed past,
Signs from the lips omnipotent to will
And win rich tribute to the very last;
But death, or change, had been among my flowers,
And all their bloom had faded, so that /
Yielded my sad thoughts TO the compelling powers
OF the bright soul worship till die.
Nay, never doubt me, for by loves divine
And fearful past know my future thine
