Lovers Still.

His hair, as wintry snow, is white;
Her trembling steps arc slow:
His eyes have lost their merry light.
Her checks their rosy glow;
Her hair has lost it's tints of gold.
His voice no joyous thrill
And yet, though feeble, gray, and old
They're faithful lovers still.
Since they were wed, on lawn and lea.
OFT did the daisies blow,
Ana OFT across the tracklcss sea
DID swallows come and go.
olt were the forest branches bare,
And oft in gold arrayed;
Oft did The lilies scent the air,
The roses bloom and fade.
They've had their share of hopes an,
fears.
Their share of bliss and bale,
Since first he whispered in her ears
A lovers tender tale.
Full many Il thorn amid the flowers
Has lain upon their way;
They've had thci" dull November hours
AS well rs days of May.
But, firm and true, through veal and woo
Through change Of time and scene.
Through winters gloom, through sum
mcr's glow,
Their faith and love have been
Together hand in hand they pass
Scrcncly down lifc's hill,
In hopes one grave in church-yard
grass
May hold them lovers still.
