In Distant Years.
We met last in the distant jeara And parted ne'er to meet again, My aching oyas were filled with tears, My heart was sore with untold pain B it though we parted thus for aye \ lingering hope my heart yet holds, - That we may meet again some day, Vlre death shall shroud us in His folds.
A Wo parted 1 ’twas the old way, A too well trusted friend’s deceit Had taken each from each away, Both hoping never more to meet, lie thought that I was false ; while I Enshadowed under falsehood’s spill ' I-j anger said a last good good-bye ' To him, I once had loved so well. ■■ ; ■
Bat now I know the truth at last, \ would I know he knew the same Tu come to me from out the past And tell me I was not to blame. 3-nit oh ! ’tis mav-be all too late, That day of joy may never dawn ; I cm no more then watch and >»ait And through the future years, hope on E. Wellington
