Count not the hours while their client wings
Thus waft them In iairy flight;
For feeling. warm from her dearest springs
Shall halloW the scene tonight.
And while the music Of Joy ID here,
And the colors Of life are gay,
Let Us mink on those who have loved us dear,
The friends who are Tar away.
Few are the hearts that have proved ths truth
or their early a6ection's VOW;
And let those law. the beloved Of youth.
Be dear in their absence now.
o, vividly In their faithful breast sl ..
Shall the gienm Of remembkrance play
Like the lingering light Of the crimson west.
When the sunbeam hath pasaed awayl
Soft he the sleep OF their pleasant hours,
And calm be the seas they reAmi
May the way they travel be strewed with dower
Till It bring them IN safety hemei
And when we whose hearts are o. erdo wing thu
Ourselves may be doomed TO stray.
May rome kind orison rise for Us,
When we shall be far away.
