YOU WILL FORGET ME.
Yon will forget me. The' years are so tender, They bind up the wonnih which we think are so ' deep; This dream of our youth 1 will ! fade out as the splendour Fades from the skies when the son sinks to sleep. The cloud of forgetfulness, over and over, Will banish the lait rosy colours away, And the fingers of time will weave garlands to cover The scar which you think is a life-mark to-day. You will forget me; will thank me for saying The words which you think are so pointed with Ji&in. ovesa new lay; and the dirge he is playing Will change for you soon to a livelier strain. I shall pass from your life—l shall pass out for ever, And these hours we have spent shall be sunk in '■ the past. <' ■ oath buries its dead; grief kills seldom or never— YAnd forgetfulucss covers all sorrows at last.
