/ THINK OF THEE.

think on thee in the night,
When all beside is still,
And the moon comes out, with her
pale, sad light,
To sit on the lonely hill:
When the stars are all like dreams,
And the breezes all like signs,
And there comes a voice from the far
OFF streams
Like thy spirits low replies.
| think on thee by day,
Mid the cold and busy crowd,
When the laughter of young and gay
Is far too glad and loud
l hear thy soft, sad tone,
And thy young, sweet smile [ see;
My heart-my heart were all alone,
But for its dreams of theel
OF thee who were so DEAR
And yet do not weep,
For thine eyes were stand by many
a tear
Before they went to sleep;
And, if haunt the past,
Yet may | not repine,
That thou hast won thy rest, at last.
And all the grief is mine.
l think upon thy gain,
Whateer to me it cost.
| And fancy dwells with less of pain
On all that | have lost
Hope, like the cuckoo's oft-told tale,
Alas, it wears her wing!
And love that, like the nightingale,
Sings only in the Spring.
Thou art my spirits all,
! Just as thou vert in youth,
Still from thy grave no shadows fall
Upon my lonely truth;
A taper yet above thy tomb
Since lost its sweeter4rays,
| And what is memory, through the
gloom,
Was hope, in brighter days.
l am pining for the home
Where sorrow sinks to sleep,
Where the weary and the weepers
come,
i And they cease to toll and weep
Why walk about with smiles,
That each should be tear,
Vain as the Summers glowing spoils
Flung DER an early bier?
Oh, like those fairy things,
Those insects of the East,
That have their beauty in their wings,
And shroud it while at rest;
That fold their colors of the sky
When earthward they alight,
And flash their splendors on the eye.
Only to take their flight
L never knew how dear thou vert o
Till thou vert borne away
l have it yet about my heart,
The beauty of that day.
AS if the robe thou vert to wear
Beyond the stars, were given
That [ might learn to know it there,
And seek thee out in heaven!
