Oh, a wonderful stream Is the River Time,
Ast flows through the realm Of years,
with o iauliless rhythm and q musical rhyme,
And a broader sweep and surge sublime,
As it blends with the ocean Of years,
How the winters are drifting, like flakes Of
snow,
Aud the summers IKE buds botwceni
And the years IN tho shoai-so they como
and they go
On the rivers breast, with lts ebb and flow,
As they glide IN the shadow and sheen.
There's o magical Isle up the River Time,
Where the soitest Of airs ara playing
There's cloudIess sky and a tropical CLINE,
And a voice as sweet as a yesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are staying.
And the name Of this isle Is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there
There are brows Of beauty and bosoms Of
snow
There are heaps Of dust, bat We love them so :
There are trinkets and trosses Of hair
There are fragments Of songs that nobody
sings,
And part OF an infants prayer,
There's a harp unswept and O lutte without
strings,
There are broken VOWS and pieces Of rings,
And the garments she used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when the
fairy shore
BY the mirage is lifted in air
Aad we sometimes hear through the turbu-
lent roar
Sweet voices we heard in tho days gone be-
fore,
When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh, remembered for aye be the blessed Isle
All the day Of our life TN night.
And when evening comes with its beautiful
SMILE
And our eyes are closing in slumber awhile,
May that Greenwood" Of soul be in sight

'Why not?"
''Well, it is generally held that one

"That is true" admitted the man
"but a mans admiration for his wife

Did you ever see home properly
