A SONG FOR THE SELFISH.

When you aud I were young. my dear.
Ere lines had marked your brow.
Ere God had sent the loved ones here
That cling about us now
When you and l were free from care,
We thought the world was very fair
When you and | were young my dear
But we are older now. my dear.
And worried by the cares
or those who cling around us here
And have their love affairs
Ere you were grieved by others woes
You were as radiant as a rose,
But now your brow has burrows, dear
When you and were young. my dear,
We thought the Lord was good.
But that was ere we had to bear
The weight Of parenthood!-
The cares Of those we loved. sweetheart
A spice to human joys impart,
And feed the hungry soul, my deaf.
When you and were young. my dear,
And neither knew a care.

And let you, trembling. there
But the happiness OF careless days
Has broadened In hundred ways
Since others cling about us, dear!
