WHEN THE lockwood WAS IN
BLOOM.

When the dogwood was in bloom,
And in each secluded nook
The violets hid their purple heads,
By the little purlug brook.
Then we wandered hand in hand
In the May time of the year;
Hast forgotten9 Doth there come
No thought of all that once was dear?
How we dreamed our dreams of bliss
In the days that were 10 be;
OF the joys that were to come,
In after time to thou and me.
Little thought we of the change
OF the melancholy gloom.
Soon to fall upon each life,
When the dogwood was in bloom.
Time, in its ceaseless ebb and dow,
Hath drifted our lives apart:
Year after year I've sadly watched
Each youthful dream of joy depart.
Fatality attends my path,
Through uneventful years;
A shadow rests upon my soul,
And hope has set in tears.
Again the dogwood Is in bloom,
The same as in days of yore;
The mocking bird still chants his song,
But o, thou comest no more.
Far from the scenes to both once dear
Thy lot is cast-afar from me;
While am doomed 10 view each day
Each spot that speaks of thee.
Speaks of the moaning sea of change
Lying between us tonight;
leaving an arid wasta in life
Once so beautifully bright.
When lay life's duties down,
When sink beneath its gloom;
oh. would lay me down to rest
Where the dogwood is in bloom. May 10.
