WE SHALL FORGET.
(ELrzADerH DUNN FArS)


We who are left will walk the same old ways
But they will be but drcary ways from now,
Excepting when a dream Of other days
shall come TO soothe lfes care and rowdy-
dow;
A dream evoked by some old waysids tree,
Perchsnce by some old walk where we have
metz
Something Of all our lives recalling thee;
Some dream sweet as makes us to forget
Wen see again the where the footights fare
a VICE sweet maid with laughing eyes and
brown
With dimplcd arms and tangled tumbled hair,
And twnkng ankles, tripping, tripping down.
Her arms cnclasping Gala lilies tall
With waxen blooms and green leaves dewy-
And she will sing, and her sweet voice will fall
Soft through our dreams till we almost forget
And we will walk where erst your laughter rung,
Meath where the gnarly liye-oak branches
spread
Where they hung down, and where they dipped
and swung,
And where, that your ways might be carpeted
They shed their leaves like largess right and lett
Green leaves and brown, with breezes hall a
fret
So in our dreams through all their warp and welt
Shall mem y bring you back till we forget
We know God giveth his beloved sleep.
And that you were a-weary and we know
That though we turn away and that we weep,
Where bright supernal flowers bud and blow
You'll wait until we lay our burdens down,
And sleep shall soothe our eyes tear-dimmed
and wet
And you shall come with laughing eyes and
brown,
Glad hands outstrctohed ard then we shall
forget
