Oh, there are memories that throng
So closely round my heart,
That of its hidden, trembling strains
They seem to form part
They're woven III wItlfevery dream
That haunt my nightly rest,
And nestle like golden beam
Deep in my troubled breast.
o, there are memories that crowd
And cluster in my brain,
That bind me gently to the past,
And make me young again
The blooming wreath my childhood knew
Ere change had come or blight,
When each fair bud was wet with dew,
Each blossom crowned with light.
Sweet memories, ye gently now


Are whispering to my heart,
feel your light upon my brow,


In tears of rapture start
Ye tell me of the sun lit hours,


That flew so gayly on,
mid singing birds and fragrant flowers,
That bloomeJ without thorn.
Ye tell me Of the young-the fair,


Who fitted around my path
twine amidst their clustering hair
A bright and glorious wreath
l. listen to the Warbled notes


That tremble on the tongue,
Till through my soul that music flows
Like strains by angels sung.
o, stay then, gentle memories,


Within my heart of hearts !
And softly hush its heaving sigh,
And dry the tear that starts.
o, hold, We gentle memories,


Your empire in my breast,
Till death shall close my weary eyes
And take me to its rest.
