THE OLD FRIENDS

Where are they scattered now
The old, old friends?
One made her dwelling where the naples grow,
And mighty streams through solemn forests flow;
Yet never from that pine crowned land OF snow
A message sends.
Some meet me oft amid
LIES common ways,
And then, perchance, a word or smile declares
That throb beneath their load OF cares
For love grows on like wheat among the tares,
Till harvest day.
But some are fallen asleep
The words sweet
Oh friends at rest beneath the blessed SOD,
Ny feet stil tread the weary path ye trod,
Ere yet your loving souls went back 20 God;
When shall meet?
Oh, then. dfvtnest Friend,
When shall Il be
That may know them in their garments white
And see them with and clearer light,
Mine old familiar friends-made fair and bright.
Like unto Thee?
