A SONG.

A song rolled out OF heart day.
Aud It drifted distant bay
II carried a message OF hope and cheer,
And charm breathed in a listning ear;
For it soothed the brows that lined with
And II stayed the white in the midnight hair;
1t whispered the calm of a heart
And it stied the ache in the troubled breast
A psalm &c defy all hopeless
A song that will live for a thousand years.
