The wears come and the years go,
And the leaves OF life keen falling;
And across the sunless rivers flow,

while autumn his red glory wears.
And clouds Cypress the sky. like cares

Ana after the midnight cometh morn.
The years wake and the years sleep,
And the past Is full of sorrow;
The thoughtless laughs and the Thought

Ana each the fruit OF his follies reaps.
For to-day is the fate of tomorrow;
But new loves tempt us to forget
The old and old friends love us yet
So the old griefs die and new Joys are
born,
And after the midnight cometh morn.
The years laugh. and the years Sigh.
But the flowers for you are Lowing;
& Az girlhood's days go dancing by,
Ana wonanhood's blithe May is nigh.
with hopes and fancies glowing;
while Love his nets for you prepares,
And turks to catch you unawares-
And the old griefs dies and new Joys arc
born.
And after the midnight cometh morn.
The years live and the years die,
And all they touch they sadden;
But still the heart can time defy
Hope still with purple flush our sky.
And sober friendship gladden.;
And we'll as We have loved before,
In autumn we can love once more
For the old griefs die and new Joys are

And after the midnight cometh morn.
