Letters.

Such little thing--s letter,
Yet 80 much it may contain;
Written thoughts and mute sxpressious,
Full of pleasure, fraughtswith pain
When our hearts are sad at parting,
Comes CLEAN of comfort bright
In the mutual promise given:
I'VE will not forget to writs."
Plans and doings of the absent,
Scraps Of news we like to hear,
All remind u.s. cen though distant,
Kind remembrance keeps US near.
Yet sometimes single letter
Turns tho sunshine into shade;
Chills our efforts, clouds our prospects,
Blights our hopes and makes them fade.
Messengers Of joy or sorrow,
Life or death, success. despair,
Bearers of affections wishes,
Greeting kind or loving prayer.
Prayer or greeting, were we present,
Would be felt but half unsaid;
We can write, because our letters
Not our faces--will be read
Who has not some treasured letters
Fragments choice Of others lives;
Relics, some, Of friends departed,
Friends whose memory still survives,
Touched by neither time nor distance,
Will their words unspoken last;
Voiceless whispers of the present,
Silent echoes Of the pasti
