ALONE AT EVE.
Alone at eve, when all is still— And memory turns to other years, How oft our weary hearts we fill With feeling's dark and bitter tears : The friendships of our youthful day— The hopes, which time could ne'er fulfil And voices that have pass’d away, Return at eve—when all is still 1—
When all is still except the breast, That wakes to long remember’d woe ; Of parted hopes, and hearts opprest, And loved-ones severed long ago 1 — Yet solace may our spirits find, — A star to light the darkest ill; There’s One the broken heart can bind— Alone at eve—when all is still'!
