And l catch a glimpse of Eden
Through the softly falling snow,
As ! read the simple verses
Written in the long ago.
little faces that have varished,>
Little hands we see TO more,
Seem to come to us unbiGden
From beyond the misty shore;
Ard the valentine l cherish,
Old, and quaint and torn, you know,
Is to me the sweetest chapter
Found in life's fair iorg ago.
You can hardly read the verses
By the childish fingers traced,
Years that have forever vanished
Have the gentle lines erased;
But in memory's beauteOus gardens
Still the fiow'rs of youthtime blow.
And l still repeat the verses
Penned-so long-so long ago.
Sunny links there are that bind us
To the fair ard stored past.
Though the cruel years would leave US
To the mercy of the blast;
So the valentine she sert me
Lends to life sacred glow,
And my heart repeats the verses
Written in its long ago.
Bending DER the crumpled pages
/ can see vision fair,
And a form from out the shadows
Seems to seek my easy chair;
All! a hand my boyhood cherished
Strikes the chords of love. ard, 10,
Quick my old heart thrills with music
Crowned with thoughts of long ago.
Ere fold the yellow pages
Let me once more read her rhyme,
Traced amid a fair cheek bushes
In the heart of childhoods cline;
There! l put away my treasure,
With the bright sun sinking low;
For the valentine | cherish
Binds me to the long ago.
