(Bayard F. Taylor.)
Oh! a wonderful stream is the River
of Time,
/ As it runs through the realms of
tears,
With faultless rythm and a musical
rhyme,
And broader sweep and a surge sub.
lime,
AS it blends in the ocean of years!
How the winters are drifting like
flakes of snow
And the summers like birds be.
tween,
And the years in the sheaf how they
come and go,
On the rivers breast With it's ebb and
its flow,
As it glides in the shadow and
sheen!
There's a magical isle up the River
of Time,
Where the softest of airs are play.
ing,
There's a cloudless sky and a tropical
cline,
And a song as sweet as a vesper
chime,
And the Junes with the roses are
straying.
And the name of this isle is the
Long Ago"
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty and bios.
SONS Of snow,
There. are heaps of dust, oh! we love
them So
There are trinkets and tresses of
hair
There are fragments of songs that
nobody sings,
There are parts Of an infants
prayer,
There's a lutte unwept and a harT
without strings,
There are broken vows and pieces OF
rings,
And the garments our loved used
to wear
There are hands that are waved wher
the fairy shore
BY the fitful mirage is lifted in air
And We sometimes hear through the
turbulent roar,
Sweet voices we heard in the days
gone before
When the wind down the river wai
fair.
Oh! remembered Cor aye be thai
blessed isle,
All the days of our life until night;
And when evening glows with its
beautiful smile,
And our eyes are closing in slumbers
awhile
May a lovlier isle be in sight.
