PINE TREE ON THE WILL.

OH pine tree on the hill,
Each morning you leave your shadow
on nv window sill
As if TO delay the sun on his round
OF sunshine and happiness.
Sometimes in the night | hear you SIGH
When the wind is softly passing by.
You wave YOUR leafv arms, and act
AS sentinel to the buttes so near.
You know the boom Of the hunters gun
And tho forest fires midsummer heat
The merry voices and pattar Of little
feet,
And murmer Of lovers soft and sweet.
Oh, pine tree on the hill
Are you standing there still
Thru the weary years of Life? When we
Are old and gray, you are standing
young and gay
