No no. the falling blossom is no sign Of loveliness destroyed. and sorrow
 mute; The blossom sheds it's loveliness di-
 vine;
 Its mission is to prophecy the fruit. Nor is the day of love forever dead. When young entertainment and TO-
 nance are gone; The veil is drawn but all the future
 dread
 Is frightened by the finger of the
 dawn. Love moves with life along a darker
 way They cast a shadow and they call it
 death! But rich is the fulfllment of their day: The purer passion and the firmer. faith.

 rose tint of health. By the hand of disease had turned
 pale, And the death l I damrS @ was on the pure Of my poor lost Lilly Dale. T go" she said, "to the land of rest, And ere my strength shall fail must tell you where. near my own
 loved home
 You must lay poor Lilly Dale. "'Neath the chestnut tree. whepo the
 wild flowers grow And the stream ripples forth through Where the birds. shall warble their
 song in spring, There lay poor Lilly Dale.
