Bygones.
Charles Mackay, in • Temple Bar.’ Ye doubts and fears that once we knew, Ye b'itter words, of anger bom; Ye thoughts unkind, and deeds untrue,
Ye feelings of mistrust and scorn ; Against your memory we rebel— We have Outlived your foolish day ; No longer in our hearts you dwell— Bygones ! Bygones ! pass away 1
But oh, ye joyous smiles and tears, Endearments fond, and pleasures past, Ye hopes of life’s first budding years. Ye loves that seemed too bright to last:— Yo charities and words of peace, Affection’s sunshine after rain , Oh never let your blessings eeaße Bygones ! Bygones ! come again !
