Farewell.

We are friends that have J0urneyed together.
Long time, you AMI
Through sunshine aud stOrmiest weather.
But the old year must lie.
Yet pray you to mourn not my going,
Though we nave been friends
What am but one billOw, whose flowing
Has touched shore, and ends ?
And the tale of my joy and my sorrow
Lives hut as he trace
OF the waves. that the tides of the morrow
In turn shall 2face.
Yet leave you, as waves leave their treasures
OF coral aud shell,
A Viit passing sorrows and pleasures,
our friendship tote l.
leave you the friendships whose growing
Has been from my birth.
There Is naught that the tide brings IN lowing
Can equal then worth.
For as shells from the murmurs OF ocean
Steal echoes that last,
50 IN frenlshiI0s stored the emotion
OF years that are past.
