A SHADOW SONG.

Strike softly the chords. my beloved one,
with fingers 80 fair and so white,
Strike softly the chords, o my dear one, old
memories surge round me to night.
Old memories are surging and throDbing till
the Past seems part OF to day,
And the notes as they fall from thy fingers,
bring thel fragrance OF blossoms in May.
Eyes deep, as thine own. my beloved one,
once told of the innocent heart
That beat to the tune of the music while Love
sang an echoing part;
Hands soft as the petals OF roses OFT Wakened
affections pure tone
While the soul that was soaring to Heaven
soon whispered farewell to mine own.
Thus dream OF the spast with its sunshine
that frightened my happiest years,
1t flashes thro' dar kening shade Tvs like a joy
that is flashing thro' tears;
And touch the brown curls OF my dear one
as they shine on the beautiful head,
And kiss the child lips tor the idol and the
dreams which forever have fed.
Strike softly the chords, o my dear one. thy
years with deep promise are bright,
strike softly the chords, my beloved one, the
form OF an angel is with us to night.
Sing thou to the hearts that are doubling,
how pure and how tender the the e.
That love is q shadow of Heaven, passing over
~ . this life as a dream!-lJ.
