TIE LAND OF UsED-TO-BE.

THE LAND OF CSEDTO-BE.
Beyond the purple, navy trees
OF summers utmost boundaries
Beyond the sands, beyond the seas,
Beyond the range Of eyes like these.
And only In the reach Of the
Enraptired gaze OF memory,
There lies the land long lost TO NE
The land OF Used-tobe.
A land enchanted such as swung
In golden when sirens chung
Along their dripping Drinks, and sung
To Jason In that mystic tongue
That dazed men with its melody;
o. such land. with such a sea,
Is the fair Usedto-Be.
A land where music ever girds
The air with bells OF singing BIRDS
And sows all sounds with such sweet words
That in the lowing herds
meaning lives so sweet TO me
Lost laughter rpples limpdly
From lips brimmed DER with all the gee
OF rare old Usedto-Be.
o land Of love and dreamy thoughts,
And shining fields and shady spots,
or coolest, greenest, grassy plots
And all the blooms that cunnlngy
Out Of the past : kiss in thee
The lips of Used-to-Be.

Or its sweet echo. yea, all three
