Turning old letters over.
As the twilight begins to fall,
The gem Of them all discover,
In weak, insignificant scrawl;
With clumsy and artless unfolding
or infantile thoughts half a.whirl.
And the poor, blotted page still holIin,
single soft, colorless curl
Uneven, misspelt but how tender
And winsome; Dear papa" I reaii
"Dolly's broke 80 never can mend her,
AMI Pussy's made mamma's hand bleed"
Printed words intermixcd with the written,
But how sweet And they hasten to say,
"Nursy's tooth aches, I've tcarded my mittsn.
Nothings good now, with papa away"
Only childish prattle on paper
But how freshly hit OF each event
Formed Of this or that fancy or caper
That made her existence content
And now on the paper she'll drop
Round snip OF her prettiest curl,
Knowing well 1t will gladden. poor papa"
Because from his own little "gurl."
An, again and again do | kiss Il,
with her image still fresh In my mnit
And that artless child's love, how miss IL,
since no more with my life It's combined,
Save as Death the light footed purloiner,
BY Love ia run down in the end
AMI IA Faith still abidss to rejoin her
In tho heights she was first to ascend,
Back, back with the rest, return you,
Dear mssive, more treasured than ALT
And again in the past iuurh you.
A the shadows, deepening, fall.
Once more in the casket set you,
Aud turning the kew depart
No fear that I'll slight or forget you,
Your words are engraved in my heart
