Sing, TIL the glad world wak5again,
The sweet. glad world oflong ago.
Where the sunbenms slid athwart tho rain,
And wild winds set the seas aglow;
Sing the old songs that held the ways
Enraptured in the vanished days.
Sing SO perchance the swans may glido
Ger theirwhite shadows, as of yore,
And for along the brown hillside
Thepurple hcatherglow once more
Sing, fortho heaven is dim and strange,
And all the earth has suffered change.
Alas, no song hath now the art
From out the dead past TO recall
The Joy OF eur and eye and heart
That made our lost worlds coronal.
Thesweetest song man ever sung
Hath not the power to make us young.

the hole, where they afterwards found
their entire capture cunningly hidden
under some dead leaves. .a
In the same manner the mink steals
game which sportsm en- shoot. On one
occasion gentleman shot wild duck,
but before the dogs could get TO it n
mink had stolen it, carried it off to n
