oA Lfetfme'S Story.

How canst thou gaze into the distant years
And say When I was young?
For time around thine early hopes and fears
So thick a veil hath flung;
How canst thou brood upon the memory
OF days when life was bountful to thee?
Yet as look upon that pallid brow
The shadows roll away;
/ see thee-not as thou art standing now.
A figure bowed and gray
I see thee Graded on thy mothers breast,
And rocked with mothers tenderness to rest
l see thee later in thy life's stranga dream,
fairest village child,
Thy tresses falling in a sunlit stream
Ger eyes serenely mild.
That now are hollow, sunken dim, and deep.
Waiting TO close themselves in life's last sleep.
