ORIGINAL POETRY.

COLONIAL SON G. Air—“ Shades of Evening.” Land of home, on thee I ponder, Form so beautiful and fair; When my spirit-thoughts would wander, Ever they will centre there. Friendly faces then surround me, Such as used to clasp my hand— Sounds of welcome hover round me, Conjured by some fairy wand Oft when night’s soft dreams Come o’er me Still I see the well-known band, But a chasm stands before me, And I cannot reach their land. Yet I see the tear-drops starting,, And I know for whom they rise— Ah! ’tis like a second parting, .. When a scene So welcome flies. Still the dearest; fondest pleasure, Is that pent-up memory stove; • Like a gem of priceless treasure. Absence makes us love it. more; From that mine we’re ever stealing; Pictured scenes of by-gone days, One by one they come revealing, Land of home, thy. brightest rays. J. W. MARKETS. .
