EVENING REVERIES.
The sombre eventide unfolds; And glides the day o’er the unknown ijethoan sea, whose vastness holds The phantom ships of centuries flown. The days departed oft frequent Lone avenues of reverie; Those faded hours waft, redolent, The breath of fragrant memory. The insight of the quiet hours The dimness of the past illumes; In those aloof and shadowy bowers, With loved and lost the soul communes. The fallen rose with dust is blent, Its perfume lingers in decay; Thus memory’s tender scenes present The sweetness of the vanished day. . Amelia Robbins. Springfield Republican.’
