THE LADIES' SIDE.

The ghost Of my youth came back to me.
Came back the other day,
And out of two deep blue eyes IL looked
At me in the self-same way
That IL did in the golden summer morn
OF the days when love was newly born.
The ghost-it wore a snow-white robe,
Its head was crowned with gold,
Its sunny smile and dimpled face
OF happy fortune told.
But still the ghost of youth in those eyes
Was the ghost of love that never dies.
Her eyes her smile. her golden hair.
Her voice, the turn of her head,
All in the daughter standing there
(The mother was long years dead,
And into my frozen heart there came
pang of that old immortal flame
And crept up into my cobwebbed brain.
Out to my finger tips,
Along the tide of my sluggish veins,
Into my cold. set lips.
And j wish in my heart that / had died
And was lying forgotten at her side!
