THE SUNBEAM'S RESTING PLACE.
The sunlight falls on the old oak walls And in through the coloured glass 0/ each window pane, where never again I had thought the sun could pass. But, the curtains undone, the beams of SUQ In through my windows fall, And I watch one's flight till I see it alight On a picture that hangs on the wall,. 2Lnd my aching heart as I watch its dart '* . ' Is fili'd with the came old pain, For the girl so fair with the golden halt I never shall Bee again. For the picture sweet which the sunbeams greet Is all that is left to tell Of the smiling face and the girlish grace Of the wife I had loved co welL And the sunbeams kind, when I draw the blind, Each morning fly straight away To their resting place on my darling's face, And contented they etay all day. April 1896. Ada A. B. Lodford.
