A MEMORY.
The streamlet flowed with light on Its breast i Through meads when tho grass was high. And the summer sun weot down in the west When Ellenor's lips to mine were pressed Under an English sky. That streamlet far from these scsnoo flows still As it flowed in life's young day, By cottage and church, and round by the hill, And under the sluice of the village mill, With light and sparkling play. And thus doth the stream of life run past — On, on to a boundless sea ; And the love has vanished, too blight to last, And the heaven of hope has been o'crcast, While memory lives with me.
