THE LONG AGO.

Do you think Of the long ego. sweet wife,
As We sit By the old brooks side,
While the woodbird sings and the linden fl:ngl
Its shadows over the tide?
Do you think OF the bright time gone.
When We sat BY this tinhling stream,
Dreaming for hours mid its gay Wild flowers
As only youth can dream?
You remember the hawthorn hedge beyond,
Where the thrushes came to sing
When the sky was blue and each green Leaf
new
In the fresh and joyful spring.
Blue violets bowed beneath.
And winds low answers gave,
While rich and bright the trembling Light
Lay on the silver wave.
You were scarcely . woman then, dear vito.
But young girl. sweet and far,
maiden meek with each soft round check
Half-hidden meath waving hair;
And flushed to the hue Of an opening rose
When my heart poured out its tale,
While the trees around made . whispering
sound
At the soft kiss Of the gale.
My own! you have borne some sorrow since,
There are shadows on your brow;
Eyes which were bright as the stars OF night
Are dim and sorrowful now.
You have folded two dimpled hands
Ger little child's white breast
And laid her to sleep in grave dug deep.
But no sound can break that rest
We have only each other left to love
AS we sit ny the old brooks side,
While the woodbird sings and the linden flinss
Its shadow over the tide.
You wonder how much the heart can bear,
And your silent teardrops flow;
Let the joy Of lite return, sweet wife,
For the sake Of our long ego.
