To Ike aoft wind' gentle swell,
And think we bear the mu*ic

And the boundless fields of Air,
And feel ags in our be y he *!* - w *h
To roam, like angel* there'
There arc many drearu of gladness
That clinf around the past—
And from the tomb of ice ling
Old thoughts came thronging fast—
The forma we loved so dearly
In the happy day*now gone.
The beautiful and lovely,

Those bright a ad gentle maiden*

The public are invited to attend.
They have passed—iifced liiipe^^away
All their loveliness has fled—
Oh—many a heatt is mourning
That they are with the dead
Like the bright' M bjjds of &mm«r
They have fallen from the stem— .
Yet ohM-it is a lovely death
To fade from earth like ihem !
And yet—'the thought is saddening
Qn such as they—
rnll the beautiful
Are passing ta*t away !
Thai the fair ones whom we love,
Grow tt> each loving breast
¿ike tendrils of the clinging vine;
'* Then perish where they rest.
And ean we but think of these
In the soft and gentle spring,
sn the trees are waving o'er tis
And the flowers a re blossoming !

With its cold and stormy sky —
And the glorious beauty round us
