lips, of play;
Icould smell the roses and could see
in all the skies
Tie cleaning Of a blue dream in a lit
tie lady's eyes;
An along down to my toll | heard hei
sing.
And felt the violet shadow of a velv et
April wing!
All along down to the trouble an the
strife
/ build hear the music of the harps OF
happy life;
Bids were in the branches and the
blooms were hanging sweet;
Atpve the dusty city and along the
roaring street;
All along down to the traffic and the
pain,
l had brought sunbeam from cot
tage in lane!
All along down to my duty and trust
The lilies nodded to me and above the
heat and dust
A morning freshness from the hand Of
little child
was dew of living beauty on my lips
that thirsted wild;
All along down came a thousand sweets
with me,
OF music and of blossom and Of mea-
dow and of treel
All along dow when the wheels have
stopped tonight
The lips of her shall lure me to the
dreams of even light:
She lothes me in her gladness for the
labor of the day
With little songs of morning on her
lips of child-at-piay;
And over me the shadow Of her toilet
wings shall bide
mil the twilight brings me TO a little
lady's side!
