Onward and on with a silent tread,
Each with its JOYS and fears.

Leaving regret for the word unsaid.

Touched with the rhine OF years.

Scenes from my childhoods tender years,
Whose idylls cling 10 ma;
And memory's smiles and inemory's tears

Greet each loving face as ~ there appears,
And this is what 4 see:

With "a small, chubby boy housed in her
