Select poetry.
NOT QUITE FORGOTTEN. Not quite forgotten, though the years endeavor To fling a veil between thy soul and mine; peep in my heart the memory liveth ever; By tears and smiles unaltered is thy shrine. Not quite forgotten, 0 thou first and fairest jQf all my day-dreams! thou who yet must be in longest and still loved the dearest, forgotten P—there is no such word for theei Not quite forgotten, for thy dear reflection Undimm'd in memory ever must remain; And there are times when all the old affection Which I have borne thee surges back again, No, not forgotten! for a chance resemblance — A voice which rings as thine hath rung of old, Will often bring thee back to my remembrance, And reproduce the past a thousand-fold. Faint as the fragrance of a flower long gathered, Such is the love I bear thee; and no sin J. count it, for its passion long since withered; And now 'tis love with nought of earth therein.
