ESDAY AFTERNOON. AUGUST %, 1888.
OUTLINED.


That once had power my inmOst soul to thrill,
To kindle all my face with sudden flame,
And all my heart with secret rapture fill.
listen calmly to it, wondering
Where vanished they-those old time hopea
and fears
That used to blanch my cheek, or swiftly bring
Before my sight a binding mist Of tears.
/ meet the eyes now, tranquil unconcerned,
Where once a single frightened glance 1 stole
Those eyes that long ago pathway burned
Into the inner temple of my soul.
hear the cid, familiar voice, unmoved,
Whose faiutest tone was music in that day;
Eoquicl;cned pulse proclaims theivoice beloved,
My quiet heart goes steadfast on her way.
No bitterness, 10 shadow of regret
Comes up to mar my peace with secret doubt
would not live the past again, nor yet
BE quite content to have it blotted out
Wan memry, lowering near the far off grave
OF our young love, calls back, across the waste,
That all she finds is cold and lfeless save
The few pale mourning flowers herself has
placed.
Smyrna times., 1888-08-22

Sleep on thou short lived love; thy grave is deep;
Thy life was bitter, but thy rest is sweet
Though DER thy burial place none pause to weep,
1t is approached by none save unshod feet
