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? —Mittie Means. Ft. Gaines, Ga. >rli-i1nl<> of I'ort liKliirN Iruiii.
