THE CHILDREN.

I shall leave the old house in the autumn, To traverso its threshold no more; Ah! how I shall sigh for tho dear ones That meet mo each morn at the door; I shall miss the "Good nights" and the kisses, And tho gush of their innocent glee, The group on the green, and tho flowers > That are brought every morning to me. I shall miss them at morn and at eve, Their songs in the school and the street; I shall miss the low hum of their voices, And the tramp of their delicate feet. When the lessons and tasks aro all ended, And Death says the school is dismissed, May the little ones gather around me, And bid me "Good night" and be kissed! [The above poem was found in the desk of Charles Dickens after his death.l
