l.. vision passing fir
Rainbow tinted. fiis the air!
Vanished wears whose memories rare
Crown the pat beyon compare,
Once ~ lin their radiance wear,
D.ar.. auld lang syne bill Us share.
TEN TIMES ONE ARE TEN.
Freedom from liie's heavy cares,
Innocence mid worldly shares,
Hearts th vet no burdens bear,
Brows untouched by sad despair,
Crowned with dark OF sunny nalr,
Tritping feel sunbrowned ana pare,
Voices iuned TO music rare
Down the corIi1or OF years
Floats this vision, oh, so dear.
Round it dusty plains appear
o err il skies bend warm and clear,
Through it fash smiles ana tears,
F ON il tid of life appear,
That DER either hemisphere,
Rol their influence far and near.
Simple lessons, duties light,
Mark the winged hours rapid flight,
Lives unfolding. opening tiJwers,
Heraniing the harvest hours;
8 epping ones in Times old stream,
All the future still u dream,
Little women, little men,
Only +" ten times one are ten.
TEN TINES TWO.
Ger the mountains climbs the sun.
Brigh err grow the hours OF day,
Warmer Ill the golden beams,
Radiant blush the clouds so gray.
Earnest feet with firmer tread
In the worn paths come and go,
c. iiidish carols, wild and tree,
Into deeper chords now hJw.
Brows are crowned with lines OF thought.
Souls are fired with lofty ZEAL
Hear are trembling meath the oliSs
Loves witchery will ne'er repeal.
DAYS of romance, pure and sweet,
DAYS of aspirations high,
Proud ambition plumes his wings
Eager, sunlit space to try.
Nerve and sinew force and will,
Clamor for l,fe's active field;
All the future teens with power,
Which the untrieo arms shall WELD.
DAYS of gladness lived but once,
DAYS of gentle dreams and pain,
DAYS of nesting in the home,
Which will never come again.
Restless, throbbing, careless days,
Brightly calling all things true
Faith and trust unbroken still
Life so bright at = ten times two.
TEN TINES THREE.
The sunlight falls upon the sea,
And on a barque there sailing;
With white wings spread she rldeth free,
her wake with glory trailing.
O fiying ship. what no! what ho!
The sea is wide and shifting,
Full soon will angry tempest blow,
Aud thou wreck be drifting.
Come back, come back, to sunny shore,
To tranquil waters having
The dear home land, Nor yet explore
The deep, its peri:s Drawing
The good ship pressing on amain,
TO mast her colors naming.
Sent hack brave and true refrain,
"Give Ger your sad bewaiilng,
Nv DAYS of shallop joys are past.
And Yachts are only playing;
Come gentle breeze or tempeSts olast,
Nv barque IS now conveying
Ravond the sea, men brave and true,
W5ose early faithful training,
The ranks OF wr ng will help suodue,
Grand victories attaining.
Snea on. oh ship, through shining hours
Tny true behest fulfilling;
Maturity grant glorious powers
To s,ys the world-God willing.
