Written for the Sentinel.
NEAR TO THEE.
The sn n in glory hides his face
Behind the western hills,
While silent the mocking birds l
are
And lonely sings the rills.
The golden clouds that light the sky
Sleep in a crimson sea,
And memory clasps me in her arms t
And brings me near to thee.
The stream is lingering at my feet,
As if to say good-bye,
And shining from its bosom deep
The gold that’s in the sky.
The little cricket in the weeds
Sings on quite merrily,
And memory clasps me in her arms
And brings me near to thee,
I know that you are far away,
The crimson lingers yet,
Although the snn has passed away.
O, how could I forget!
I kuow that you are far away,
Your face 1 cannot see—
But memory clasps me in her arms
And keeps me close to thee.
What care I lor the sunset glow,
White yon I cannot see
The lingering stream, the cricket’s song
Since you are far away?
What care I what the present is,
Or what the future be,
White memory clasps me in her arms
And keeps me close to thee?
