Perchance.
Her check with years is withered, Her nye3 have lo3t their shine, Yet soft she svailos, the while she scans Tho Fcareely-writtsn line. Perchance some tender memory Of the dear old days gone by, She with a poetess's pen Strives to revivify. Some hallo wed hour of childhood That she would fain recall, An air of spring-time come again In life's last fading fall — Some dream of momenta golden, Seen through the mist of years, Remembered with a gentle smile That i-i not far from tears — Perchance — I think more likely — Be still, my heart, bo still !— The clear old «irl is io: ting up My weekly hashery till. — Abe Audeur.
