We met to watch the lights and shadows
Ana listen to the song the waters sung.

While overhead the elder blooms were blow
And dcwy fragrance filled the wooins wind
We stand beside the waters of the river,
But now the moaning Of the sea 10 near!
Far on the beacons IN d the dimness CULVER
And rolling breakers fll our hearts with
fear.
No longer Choir sters Of morning greet us.
Or blossoms of the May-time droop above;
But shadows of the twilight SO to meet us
And cloud the golden harvesting OF love.
All! listen to the rushing Of the river
Towards its haven in the restless sea-
while like leaf upon it, tide forever
Our life flows onward to Eternity.
O. mid its eager tumult and c0mmOtion.
The whirl OF waters, and the dash Of foam,
May Love. the beacon, shining DER the

Lead us together to our Fathers home!
