SUMMER LODGINGS.

Dear summer hours. sweet summer
hours,
Why have You passed away.
With all the happy birds and flowers
That charmed me yesterday?
You have not left q single bud
Or blossom on the tree,
Or prima donna In the wood
To sing o song for me.
Tho hOneysuckle by the well,
The baby blue bells, too,
That nestled where the sunbeams fell
Have passed away with you.
What would 1 give could i recall
To this bleak world Of ours,
The brightest. sweetest face Of all
That vanlhed with the flowers?
wandered In the shady hooks
And meadows all about,
And miss the music Of the brooks,
The children'S merry shout.
i miss the robins on the hill,
The roses in the lane,
And ono sweet voice that never will
Return to me again.
