Loves Sighing.
(B. Manchester, Val

I am sitting, dreaming, dreaming,
Sad and lonely sit here
Dreaming of those happy nem'ries
OF days love when you were near.
Tonight I've read your letters darling,
Read them every one,
Not q single line escaped me.
Ere that pleasant task was done.
1 have not q single treasure
That / prize so highly dear,
AS these friendly, loving missives
That now lie before me here.
Would you recall these from me
These links between the past and now.
Would you erase each written word;
Recall each spoken VOW
Once did it seem my friend
That darkest clouds between US lay
And then anon peeps out
The sunlight of a brighter day.
Why should it thus change?
Just to be reversed sgainf
Why not when hopes were lost,
Let hcpelessness remain?
True love at first, true love at last,
The first cold trust was deep-the scar
remain,
Why heal that wound OF wounds
But to open it again?
'Twere better had we never met,
Could recall those heeting years,
This simple, foolish hsart of mine
Would never know these falling tear'
Alasl These years have faded fast,
Recalled they cannot be;
Their hopes and joys with those t
como
Will mingle in eternity.
Then dream no more sad heart,
Thy thoughts fain would / still.
Nay turn thy thoughts upward
And pray the Fathers will.
