THE GARDEN OF THE YEARS.

'Tis but an idle fancy
Such as will some times CLEAN
Above the necromancy
That bids one sit and dream.
l count the years as roses
That bud and bloom and fade
And as each one uncloses
Another year is made.
They grow in one great garden
All patiently and slow
And Time, the faithful warden
Attends them as they grow.
count the years as roses
A petal for each day
To glow as it uncloses
And then be blown away.
The petals faint and wither,
The winds of winter run
To toss them there and hither,
And so the years is done
And some are years to treasure,
And some to lose we're fain,
For some are sweet with pleasure
And some are thorned with pair
But in the endless garden
The roses bud and blow
While Time, the faithful warden,
Attends them. all arrow
So may this New Year near you
Without a shade of gloom
And comfort you and cheer you
AS does a rose in bloom.
