| Oh, l have had dreams, have had sweet
dreams
OF childhood's bright and sunny hours,
When l wandered all day by the spark
ling streams,
And culled for my mother the gay
When ! we've her n wreath of the green
woodbine,
And twined in it berries and buttercups
gay,
And / crowned her pale forehead and
she kissed mine;
An. she like the flowers, has faded
she has faded away-faded away!
I've had bright dreams of the old elm
Beneath whose branches, spreading
I've sported away in childish glee
The fleet-wnged hours of eventide:
L have dreamed of the friends once gath
cred there.
To frolic away the live-long day,
Untrammelled by fear. unwearied by
But they, like the rest, have faded
They have faded away-faded away!
have had sweet dreams of a fairy form
That was ever around me there,
OF her bird-like voice, with its silyery
charm,
Floating away on the evening air:
But alas for the flush and the wasting
BREATH
Alas for thy power, Decay!
An angel beckoned her home from the
earth.
Like the morning star she faded away.
She has faded away-faded away!
l have had bright dreams as l wandered
alone,
When still midnight in silence reigned
When my own pale star shone bright
from its throne,
And in visions of hope my soul was
chained;
But the cares of earth would come again.
The heart would grow sick with Hopes
And the visions I wove of my destiny
then,
All they, like the rest, have faded
They have faded away-faded away.
