There Is an old French afr,
A little song Of loneliness and grief
Simple as nature, sweet beyond compare
And sad-past all belief.

/ hear the chimes that jingled in his ears.
AS he pressed nightly with that wakefui
head
A pillow wet with tears.
Oh. restless little chime.
It never changed-but rang its roundelay
For each dark hour of that unhappy time
That sighed itself away.
And ever. more and more,
It's burden grew of his lorn self part.
And mingled. with his memories, and wore
Its way into his heart.
And there Ii woye the name
Or many town he loved. for one dear
sake,
Into its web of music: thus he came
His little song TO make.
OF all that ever heard
And loved ii for It's sweetness. none hut
OWNED the clew that, as Il hidden word
The notes doth underlie.
That wall from lips long dead
Has found its echo In this breast alone'
Only TO me-by blood remembrance led
Is that wild story known.
Aud though it's mine by rsgat
or treasure-trove, to rifle and lay bare
A heritage OF sorrow and delight
The world would gladly share.
Yet / must not unfold
T-orevermore. nor whisper late nor soon
The secret that a few slight bars thus
hold
Imprisoned in a tune.
For when that little song
Goes ringing in my head know that he,

Reu.es his life N me-.
