o. the beautiful, beautiful past.
With it's memories all aglow;
They are cleaning tonight, with a radi-
ance bright,
From the shadowy long-ago.
The mountains, rock-ribbed and rough,
Where our feet grew weary and worn,
Are brought to view and are clothed anew
With beauty of heaven born.
The storm in the valley sighed,
With its sometimes sweet refrains,
But our souls are at rest on its heaving
breast,
For the music alone remains.
The sunset of life draws near
In the sweet and blessed calm;
Its tender ray gilds the sombre day,
And mellows its tears to balm.
And we list at eventide
For the distant bells. which, lo
In the waning light, ring a sweet good
night
To the chimes of the long-ago.
