BY THE RIVER.
-4, I’.v 1 lie riviT \oti mid I "Wandered in * lie days gone l*y, Wh.-r- the graceful willows wept, Ami the verdant mouses crept; N'utmeV carpet sullly spread, ] lea veil’s canopy o’erhead. ’Neutli the pleasant lnrest .shade, Love’s sweet vows were spoken. ]iy the liver now I roam, "Wear*— hearted, sad, ami lone, For beneath the cypress shade J .ove’s fair, tender hopes are laid, lie had t in v« i»‘ 1 hvod to hear Binging softly, low, and clear, As we slowly wandered where Love’s fond vows were spoken. By the river we shall meet, And onr joys shall he complete "\\ lien our spirits blend again, Love shall know norgrief or pain. Fairer scenes shall meet our view, Joy our wearied strength renew, Hope’s fond dreams fulfilment know, Never to be broken. By the river, you and I Lingered in those days gone by. By the liver love awaits Till I pass the pearly gates, Where thejjwhite-robed angels fair Homes of love and peace prepare, Fond hearts know nojsorrow there, Yows are never broken.
