THOUGHTS OF A DEAR ONE.
I think of thee at morn when dawn comes in the sky, And in tbe Bast that pale bronze hue Shows stars begin to die ; When from my slumber couch I rise, And when on bended knee My thoughts are upwards turned, Then I remember thee. And when the world Is all astir, And nought but care in my path I see, ' When I am weary of its noise, Then, then I think of thee. When sr.ades of even with cooling breath draw And shadows from the setting sun low on the grasses lie, A veil of haze is creeping o'er the hills, And through the bush the murmur of the riiu, And in the distance spreads the deep blue seaNight throws the curtain over all, Then I remember thee. And when the world is all asleep. And stars look down on me, - My heart seems lifted upwards, Then, then I think of thee.
