Select Poetry.
MOTHER, I HAVE HEARD SWEET MUSIC. Mother, I have heard sw*»et mu»ic Floating round me as I lay, Like the eongs of angels singing From the bright land far away; And I felt such joy and gladness As I Hsten'd to each strain: Mother, do you think they'll ever Gome and sing to me again ? Mother, I hare heard sweet music, Not like that we sometimes hear; But so full of tender feeling, Coming forth so soft and clear, As I lay co calm and silent In the twilight soft and gray, Such a mingling of sweet voices, Aa thej came and pass'd away. Mother, I hare heard sweet magic, That would melt the hardest heart, .And to the tired and weary-worn Would a soothing balm impart; And I felt Buch j--»y and gladness As I listened to each strain: Mother, do you think they'll ever Come and sing to me again ? J. H. Eccees.
