The Backward Trail
CBy A ": Folsom)
I dreamed q dream the other night
When all around was still
Removed was every pain and care.
Bereft all power OF VIII.
Old Father Time. with buoyant stride,
In passing up the hill.
Turned round The hour-g.ass fell upo1
The sands of time stood still
The old man. beckoning me on.
Took up the backward trail
TIE clouds: that hung along the way.
Were lifted. as q ven
] saw each well remembered spot,
Where once my feet had trod.
The friends were with me once again
That sleep beneath the sod
/ saw the church spire on the hill
The chapel standing near.
Once more crossed the well worn sill.
Beside that one most dear.
The bells pealed out q glad refrain
/ took her hand II mine.
Came Ger my senses. once again,
The scent Of tassamine.
And feign would I have fingered
Near this. the brightest spot in Tie:
With that dear one ever near me
Who. thar day. became my wife
But time. relentless as Of yore.
NE'er stopped for Joy or pain.
We FASTENED on our way once more
was boy again
The school bell smote upon my ear.
I passed within the door.
The desks. the black-boards on the wall
I saw again once more
I sat within the hand carved seat.
Where ] sat years ago.
And heard that well remembered voice
Please John don't whisper So"
One golden head across the aisle
On which mine eyes are bent
A hasty glance ! took q chance
A loving missive sent
The master turned Ny features burned
Ny heart was smote with fear
That voice again in awful tones:
John Anderson come here
The spell was broke. as l awoke.
Nv limbs then lost all power.
For the old clock. ticking on the wall
Had lost a half an hour.
