SORROW.
BY r.rBBrr q. BArr.


There was time shrank from it.
And turned pale with alright,
And cried, $50 back you may not sit
Beside my hearth tonight
And with the elves, hope, Joy and mirth,
Midst song and laughter, gay,
The uIwelcome guest did leave my hearth,
And soon was far away.
My face Is pale, the falling tears
Have bleached lie cold and white,
from out my life, have slipped the years,
As stars fade from the night.
Now, sorrow never leaves my side,
raise no voice to Free
What e'er to me shall yet betide,
She'll keep me company.
You've seen the red flames leap on high,
With wild and lurid light;
Ihey faint, they shrink, at last they lie
heap of ashes, white.
And SO nv heart, cen as the flame
1t quickly burned away,
Then tainted quite, and soon became
cooling lump Of clay.
And sorrow e'er must bide with ma
Ill not bid her depart.
For where more fitting company
For my poor, hopeless heart?
