ABILENE.
A Spring Song.

Ily OUttlHk.
with gladstone smiles the winter scene,
For in the grave she lieth low
My own Abilene.
What boots II that the tender sun
Should come 10 set the rivers free
With golden key?
It's timid rays in terror shun
To pierce the darkness and the gloom
And warm 10 life my darling one
Within her tomb.
What boots it that her grave should
wear
A mantle OF the purest green
That e'er was seen,
And that lilies should blossom there?
DO ] not know. alas so well !
That i'm her very sunny hair
The worms DO dwelly
All, us niock'ry TO hear the song
az birds that welcome once again
ThvHvernal reign.
car she hear them altho' they throng
The willows DER her lonely bed?
Oh hush the songl she sleeps among
The silent dead.
What boots It that the balmy air
should fan to life with magic power
The withered flower?
The roses on her cheek were fair
AS any blooming here on earth
And 10, the worms are feasting there
In horrd mirth,-
We watched her thro' the winter drear
And saw the life blood ebb away
Day after day.
An cad and homeless then we were,
As shipwrecked men who stand at night
And see the only ship that's near
Speed out of sight.
ono morn she longed and prayed that
thou
woulds't come, and whispered with a
sigh:
as Spring time nigh?'
Methinks that / can see her now
Her scattered locks as fair and bright
As if the sun had bathed her brow
In waves Of light.
I saw the sgleam within her eye
And knew an angels voice had come
TO call her home.
Her cheek was tinged with deeper dye
Than Ger. before-twas Ike the light
That paints in crimson hues the sky
Before the night.
The moaning wind fen on her ear
Like The weird toll that sadly swells
From Phantom bells.
Trembling She murmured with n tear
"The Spring The Spring." ana dropped
lier head.
For like Il timid startled deer
Her soul had He'd.
ANA then oh cruel, hooking Spring
with balmv breath and Joyous song
Thou oam'st along.
Killing the winter with sling
or -gladning every scene
with life and JOY for everything
Save my Abilene,
Thus I was filed with grief and hate
Till bending by my spirits side
The Spring replied:
80 foolish man, look UP and walt
THY darling sleeps not meath the goo,
But lo, she passes tlro' the gate
That leads TO God.
and with that God there is no i'll
For she shall find eternal Spring
Beneath His wing.
Acknowledge then Ills gracious VIII;
When she has gained the better part
WHY dost thou guard the winter still
Within thy heart"
The voice was ali silent. when 10.
The grief that had held me in sway
Vanished away
Tho Spring winds still merrily blow
But my heart is shielded from care
I look thro' the stars, and 1 know
Abilene is there.
