And again win meet and pari;
Maybe both arc broken hearted,
Maybe not touched by Cupid's dart
The arrow that by Cupid sent
Was only like ball that's spent,
And q passing wound that viii SION heal,
Is all tl.at either heart win feel.
when in days that are % lie,
If we should chance 10 meet,
hope that You, in me, will sec
The same you said 81 sweet
Expression that my face did wear
As we sat without fear,
That a cloud would DER our blue sky fiy,
Or tears would drop from out this eye.
Some part 10 meet again,
As many a one before has parted,
To travel DER a stormy main,
AS ! DER its raging pillows daTied,
saw in each dark cloud silver lining"
That brightly in the Heaven was shining,
And hope this broken heart 30 mend,
Or like the eagle toward them tend.
Love, that mighty ruler Of mankind,
VIII ever rule the destiny OF man,
We all in time hope it To find,
And like the foot prints ON the sand,
Tell Of happy day, when Il child at play,
Love first DER our hearts held sway,
When we hid il away in our breast,
And showed il alone 10 the ones we loved
best
Your presence shall be, as onward go,
My guardian % keep me from sin,
II will keep me from falling so low
AS 10 drink drink others call gin;
For you the love that I've borne,
Is the young love of morn,
That will strengthen as older il grows,
To a strength that no man knows.
II seems but yesterday that first we met,
For pleasure is fleeing and lasts not long,
But its like what you viii never forget,
The sweetness Of the first love song.
Then upward 10 the clouds turn your eye,
That float along through the bright blue sky,
And think of Him who from above looks
down,
Who will lift you from earth and give you
crown.
If your lips their sweetness keep,
Men will try thy fortress TO win;
In their hearts you will plant deep
Your image and will keep them from sin.
Then never FOR that curse-for gold
Let thy honor or thy sweetness be sold;
But to whom thy heart you give,
For him alone should you think and live.
Prepare and be ready; for death when it
comes,
Alike strikes the young and the old,
Money will not save you whatever the sums,
Nor will 1t Heavenward help your soul.
Then push forward, go onward, lead q life
divine;
Think not of obstacles; leave them behind;
Never turn back, though dark be your
pathway,
For you know after night cOmeth the day.
When the sweetness from your lips has
flown,
Few will say of them they tasted;
None while gazing o Ter this world will own
That they for moment wasted.
When for gold your peace you've given,
Who will sigh when your heart is riven
Not he who you used to love,
Nor will he wait thy name above.
The happiness that we were 10 share
Has passed from out my keeping,
Never Ia return fear,
And am left a-weeping;
For dark cloud oyer my heart has flown,
And over my happiness u dark mantle
thrown.
Over my heart this dark cloud will drift,
And never again do expect it will lift.
Well do remember the summers long ago,
When with you tasted pleasure,
That fees like the winds that blow,
And leaves in its place the measure
OF sorrow that's melted out 10 nc
Such sorrow, hope, You may never sec
For like the love my young heart cherished
Still lives, and not ike your love for me has
persisted.
lived in a world of WEAKNESS,
Till your sweet voicc.I heard,
And il drove away the drcarincSs
As hawk drives the little bird.
Where's go the song you sing,
Will in my ear with gladnsss ring,
For though their tones 10 me has been death.
I'll love them as long rs God gives me
breath.
l was happy when frs, met you,
But that happiness has left me,
And YOU know rs well rs | do
That it left on count # thee.
But you I'll try not 20 blame,
But on Heaven will fix my aim;
Ii in Heaven | enter not,
In your prayers hope I'll not he forgot.
