A SONG OF DREAMS.
A dream of a marry child at play,
Blue oyed and fair, frolicsome, gay,
(Had as the birds In the springtime are,
Sorrows afloat like clouds alar,
Careless of trouble, untouched by fear,
Singing hor way through the golden yoar.
A droam of a woman, old and gray,
Wrinkled and bent, wonding her way
Lomesomoly toward tho last milestone,
Whore tho grim, dark shadow of death la
thrown,
Storm stained and weary, and worn with
care—
The candle of life at Its final flare.
A droam of a grave in a churchyard lono,
Neglected, drear, with weeds o’orgrown,
With only the chirp of the cricket's song,
As it sings in the grass the whole night long,
To break the silenco that brood so deop
Whore the worn out soul and body sleep.
