THE LOST CHILD.

You ask me why go
When twilight creeps so soft and still
Ad0wn the slope OF yonder hill.
70 that broad slanting window sill
To watch the waters fow.
Just there my little queen
Was wont to sit In her low chair.
The sunny waves Of ripping hair.
Soft and silken and strangely fair.
Falling in golden sheen.
Perhaps her favorite doll
Was clasped within her dimpled arm.
And tender song-to still alarm
Was crooned BY childish lips, In calm
And trustful love for AL.
Sometimes those asking eyes
Were looking strangely into mine;
Within their liquid depth divine
\ dawning light Weakening sign
CT boundless paradise.
When twilight shadows fell, !.
And night with sudden threatening frowa
In gruesome shades came swiftly down,
And through the quaint old fashioned town
We heard the curfew ring,
lfelt her presence near,
And closer 70 my lonely breast
The golden head was fondly pressed
In calm contentment. perfect rest,
With naught Of doubt or fear.
She was my all on earth.
None other claimed kindred tie,
I'D seen them slowly fade and die
Like clouds from out the summer sky
When gentle stars have birth.
When those sweet blue eyes mild
uucloscd her mother went to sleep,
In calm and holy silence deep,
An angel. evermore to keep
"A vigil Ger her child.
loved her like my life.
She came when all was dark and drear
Ny lonely shattered heart TO cheer.
With lisping accents, kisses dear,
With loves own lesson rife.
One night she watched the sun
Sink slowly TO his nightly rest
behind the clouds that tint the west
Then bowed her head upon her breast
Her little work all done.
No sigh, no moan, no pain,
Only . smile 50 strangely slow,
a nuttering lid, . whisper low.
4 light that seemed TO come and 60,
And then-she lived again!
