And past the banks where WILLOWS Gnnrlcu
Their ancient vigil keep,
The trpwsy river slowly drifts
And r,ur1nurs In its sleep.
All, sweet the wind and glad tho light
And amber-deep the shade;
On hin and stream and city street 4,
The spell of Joy is laid
(For Love has como to bide with us
And never pass away;
What matters storm or shine 10 us
If only Love may stay)
